Summary: Still my favorite
Comment: Whispers is still my favorite book of the Glenbrooke series, although I haven't yet read Wildflowers.
I thought the characters were great. Scott got on my nerves though! Arrogant and fake as can be! I sometimes wanted to smack her and say can't you see?? but she was looking for fireworks, and they were there with Scott. It took lectures from Anita and time with Gordon and Scott revealing his true character for her to realize there's more to a relationship than fireworks.
I really liked Gordon. He sincerely loves God, and Teri, and he doesn't care who knows it, or what people think of him. I didn't see anything wrong with the communion bit. I think it was there to demonstrate how clumsy he is, but he's charming and devoted to God, so he continued with the communion service anyway, and the congregation loved it. I don't think the intent was to mock communion or degrade it. He's got some great lines and illustrations for things, like his benediction "Until that day, and may we always live today as if tomorrow were that day" and how he unknowingly explains the relationship between law and grace to Teri.
I did like Teri's struggle with law and grace and legalism, but I do kinda wish it had been developed a little more fully. It isn't a struggle that gets resolved by dancing or not dancing or an analogy.
I loved the scene at the beach where her mom and grandma told her she was in love with Gordon and she thought they were nuts and got mad. She says Gordon doesn't need her, and her mom says of course he doesn't, but he wants you! Go! And the end where he tells her he'll wait till it's a yes. I love stories like that!
I thought the book was well written, and I enjoyed it. I've read it over and over now, and I'll probably read it some more. I only wish that Teri and Gordon didn't live in Hawaii so we can find out what happens to them in the rest of the series.

Summary: A great Christian love story
Comment: One of the reviewers said that they didn't like the characters and mentioned that the worldly guy was so false that they couldn't understand why Terri didn't see through him. I respect everyone's opinions, but I would like to offer a different perspective. When I read this book, a light bulb the size of a lighthouse came on for me because I recognized almost every guy I had ever dated in the character of Scott Robinson. And I didn't see it then just like the fictional Terri in the book because when emotions get involved, we can be very stupid - especially when we want so badly for something or someone to be what they are not. I thought this was a great book - like all of the Glenbrooke series - and I highly reccommend it!

Summary: Got me Hooked!
Comment: I started with Sunsets while I was doing a job at a Kmart and we had some down time so I sat down and started reading... I have been hooked ever since! I've been to every Kmart since looking for any new ones! I would not classify myself as a Christian book reader, if I had known ahead of time that this was a Christian series... I personally probably wouldn't even have picked it up. But, I'm glad I did.. I can't get enough! Please please PLEASE bring out more! I'm in need of more Glenbrooke!
