I LOVE this book. A group of young women at my church in Vancouver are reading it together. We picked it up at Regent College. I see that Hannah herself has contributed to this conversation. I’ve been trying to connect with her so to invite her to speak to us here in Vancouver… How I can make direct contact with Hannah Faith Notess?
Thanks!

Oh good, then I can borrow it from Brandi . That Anastasia McAteer quote was like reading thoughts from my own brain…

Oh man, this sounds right up my alley. I have been holding a B&N gift card for ages, I think I might use it for this one.

CJ: Are you going to write it up? I’d like to hear your thoughts.

Hannah: Thanks for stopping by!

Andrea: Too bad I didn’t tell you to just go in my house and get it when you were dropping off the pie.

Hannah Faith: I would love to hear how the discussion went!

This really mirrored my experiences growing up in the faith, Kari. Thanks for sharing – and I’d like to share this tonight with my small group of teenage girls that I mentor. Good stuff.

Hey Kari! Thanks so much for reading and sharing your thoughts. I’m glad you found things in the book that speak to your experience.

CJ, it’s cool to hear you are reading it in a group. Eventually, I want to have a group study guide people can download for doing just that (haven’t quite got around to writing it yet.) Hope you enjoy!

Funny, I’ve been reading this too. A group of friends from church bought it, then gathered on a front porch to drink wine, talk about the book and talk about our experiences in the church. I haven’t finished the book yet (my copy came later than everyone else’s, and then I got busy), but there have already been a few passages I’ve copied into my journal.
