  1. Hi All,
    Yes, of course I’ll be there! I’ve already given two copies of Craving Connection to friends as gifts and I’m blogging about Craving Connection this week with a giveaway of a copy of CC 🙂 I guess you could say, I’m up for the challenge. I love that the book is a compilation of some of the most gifted Christian writers and I am in a season where I need to get creative with keeping and building connection and community. Looking forward to it….
    Blessings,
    Bev xx

    • Bev would you share your blog page. I did not do the study but would live to read the blog so I could know more about the book.
      Wish I had done it.

      • Donna,
        Don’t worry, you’re not too late to the party it will just be beginning. My blog address is http://walkingwellwithgod.blogspot.com maybe you can win in the giveaway?
        I haven’t read the whole book yet, but it sounds like we’ll read along with the plan here at (in)courage listed above. Each section is about 8-10 pages with ideas to consider, ways to engage, and challenges to take. Now that I know the dates (in)courage will be doing this, I’m going to encourage my readers to join in. I hope you’ll join in too.
        Blessings,
        Bev xx

      • Hey Anna,
        I’m not doing a whole series, but my blog is talking about “Craving Connection” this week (with giveaway of the book). I am then inviting my readers over to the (in)courage site to participate in the 5 weeks of reading and challenges. Now that I’m working from home, I need to think “outside the box” in terms of making connections and building community and am inviting my readers to join me.
        Blessings,
        Bev 🙂

        • Love, love, love this Bev! Gosh you’re one of our favorites <3

          ps - I work from home too, and 100% understand what you're talking about here. Way to be intentional about those connections!

  2. It sounds so wonderful, however, last year, the year before, I would get al excited, oh yes, I want to do that, buy the book , sign up, actually get involved for maybe a couple or three sessions and all those unread books are in boxes!! I know they are there! I don’t like it! So this year, I have told myself no more wasting money on things I’m not going to finish, and things that embarrass me when I run across them because I never gave them closer. Until I start finishing what I start, I’m not starting anything else! I’m certain you ladies are loving one another and this is a great thing, it’s not for me ! Thank you

    • Hi Linda! That’s a very practical and soul-serving commitment – good for you!

  3. BLESSINGS TO EACH OF YOU MY SISTERS IN CHRIST JESUS. YES, I AM UP FOR THE CHALLENGES. I LIVE IN A NURSING HOME, AND I HAVE PARKINSON’S DISEASE, AND FIBROMYALGIA, AND I AM IN A WHEELCHAIR BECAUSE I CANNOT WALK. I AM ON DISABILITY BENEFITS AND ONLY GET ENOUGH TO COVER FOR MY RENT SO I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO BUY THE BOOKS, BUT I WILL TRY MY BEST TO DO WHAT I CAN. IT WILL BE A PRIVILEGE TO BE A PART OF THIS. MAY THE PRECIOUS HOLY SPIRIT BREATHE UPON THE NEXT FEW WEEKS AND BREATHE UPON EACH ONE OF OUR LIVES, AND MAY HE BE GLORIFIED. LOVE AND PRAYERS, WENDY MACDONALD
