review 1: This is the first book I've read of Robin's and I was surprised that I liked it, I was expecting something corny with the title, "Sisterchicks", but I found the story of the two friends inspiring. OK, some of the story was corny but I loved it having lived in Amsterdam, I could imagine the bikes falling into the canal and wish I could have seen the wooden shoe boat! Robin has a good way of bringing Bible verses into the story --- I needed to be reminded to hold the words in my heart instead of just memorizing them.
review 2: In Sisterchicks In Wooden Shoes, Robin Jones Gunn captures the authentic feelings of friendship and demonstrates the deep need we have for each other. I felt like I was a stowaway on Summer’s trip, traveling with her through her exciting ... moreadventure in Holland. Her characters begin awkward with each other and grow more comfortable as the story progress. Summer and Noelle are great examples of the ease and comfort of friendship and the informal intimacy that occurs between Sisterchicks.This was my first Sisterchick book. I’ll have to pick up the others now.Sisterchicks In Wooden Shoes is like a travel book wrapped around a story and tied up with faith. It will inspire you to call a friend. It will gently teach you more about Holland, Corrie Ten Boom, and the Holocaust. It will challenge you to forgive those who’ve hurt you and walk in faith and not fear.One of my favorite things about Robin’s writing is that she captures the essence of scripture beautifully and coveys it in a way that I can really grab hold of and “own” (as Summer would say).Another bonus of Sisterchicks in Wooden Shoes is the discussion questions at the end of the book. This seems to be a growing trend in Christian Fiction and I love it. The questions will provide an easy road map for discussion in any book club. less
