{{Request forms are now closed but we continue to need sponsors! If you’re able to provide a book for a sister with need, please order a copy on her behalf here–we’ll make sure she receives it! If you requested a sponsored copy, please be patient–we’ll be in touch soon.}}
It’s been a while. We’ve missed you!
From our earliest days, Bloom (in)courage has been a community of readers. We’re women (and sometimes men) who cherish the world of words, and we know when they’re married to our faith, our relationship to God grows. The more we know about Him – the more we know Him – the greater our intimacy.
It’s been a little longer than usual since our last study; scheduling conflicts put it off until we were all chomping at the bit to get started again! Based on your response already, we can tell you might have missed us just as much.
We never want financial strain to prevent anyone from taking part in a Bloom study. With the start of each book club we offer the chance for you to extend generosity and express love by sponsoring books for those who can’t otherwise afford one.
We try our best to make it possible for everyone to participate in the Bloom study by negotiating with publishers to offer our featured books at the lowest price possible. However, if you are unable to purchase a copy of Pursue the Intentional Life due to financial barriers, you can request a free book today through the weekend. We ask that you only request a copy if you truly can’t afford the book and are willing to participate in the study. We have a limited amount to give away and that will depend on how many sponsored books are purchased.
The form will close when we reach the maximum number of requests (we’ll update this post); sometimes this takes hours, other studies, several days. We dream big around here (as veteran readers already know), and sincerely hope the Bloom community’s generosity overflows to accommodate every request.
To those of you able to purchase multiple copies for others, thank you! Remember any two-book purchase using the code BLOOMBOOK receives free shipping; whether your buy two and have them both shipped to your address OR, say, you buy one for yourself and gift a Sponsored copy. No matter which, all two-book Sponsor book purchases receive free shipping (as long as you remember to use the code BLOOMBOOK).
TO REQUEST A SPONSORED BOOK, SIMPLY CLICK THE LINK THAT APPLIES TO YOU BELOW AND COMPLETE THE ONLINE FORM.
If you are a U.S. resident who can’t afford the book, please click here to request a Sponsored Copy. Form is now closed!!
If you are an international resident living outside the U.S. and would like to request an electronic copy of the book, click here. Form is now closed!!
Got questions? Please check out our FAQs. If you still have questions, ask away in comments.
We are extremely grateful to DaySpring and Jean’s publisher, NavPress, for providing additional copies of Pursue the Intentional Life for those requesting a free copy. We are also SO thankful for each of you– for stepping in and caring for your fellow Bloom sisters by purchasing a sponsored copy. This need would not be met without you!
We will be in touch via email by the end of next week to let you know the status of your Sponsored Book request.

Here’s a link if you need to order a copy for yourself; there’s plenty of time to do so and have it back in time to get started with us June 5th!
Happy reading),
Robin for the Bloom Team

Thank you for your ministry! I just recently learned about you through a church bible study “Anointed Transformed Redeemed”. I am so grateful to be able to start this study because I just recently entered a mentor relationship. I am being mentored for the first time. Looking forward to the start of this study.
Robin Dance says
Jennifer,
You have a mentor? FANtastic! It would be wonderful if you could go through book club together. So glad you found us!
Elizabeth says
I seem to be having trouble accessing the link to request a Sponsor copy of the book. I get an error message each time.
Robin Dance says
Elizabeth,
Are you still having difficulty? The link works for me. Have you tried a different browser?? If it persists, please email me at pensieve(dot)me(at)gmail.
Stephanie McCreight says
I have never joined an online book club before, actually, I have never joined a book club ever, what do I need to know, how do I participate? I can purchase the book through our bookstore. I am in Guelph, Ontario, Canada and am really excited about being able to join. Any information you can get to me I would love.
Thank you,
Stephanie McCreight.

Hi Stephanie,
Sorry for the delay in replying; I’m traveling over the long weekend.
Did you check out our FAQs page and Details/Schedule posts? I’ll add them below. All you have to do is sign up for Bloom emails so you’ll receive our content every day it’s posted (on Mondays/Thursdays during the study, with the exception of 5/27 so we don’t miss readers over the Memorial holiday). We’ll have a video and companion post; and you’re encouraged to share YOUR thoughts in Comments or in our Facebook group. Rather than re-link everything in this comment, I’ll link to the posts and you can see what I mean :). SO glad to learn of your interest!

Robin I may have filled out the form 2x by mistake. My mind is blank. Do you mind checking? I only meant to fill out 1x. Thanks so much!
Robin Dance says
Amanda,

Jessi says

Robin Dance says
Here ya go, Jessi:
“We will be in touch via email by the end of next week to let you know the status of your Sponsored Book request.” (Stay tuned!)

I have just begun reaching out to my office director, who is undergoing treatment for stage 3 breast cancer and who doesn’t know the goodness of the Lord. Winning this gift would allow me to give her a “taste” of His loving kindness towards her.
Bless your ministry!
