We all long for meaningful relationships, the Colossians 3:14 kind that fulfill our desire for unity and connection with God, our friends, and our community. But where do we start?
Let’s start with Craving Connection: 30 Challenges for Real-Life Engagement.
Friends, this book? It’s for you, in the very same way (in)courage is for you. A place where you’re welcome, just as you are. Where we can come together, kick up our feet and talk friendship — the good, the painful, the funny, and the just plain hard. Where we come away feeling refreshed, our cravings for connections satiated, and our hearts ready to pour out love. For more about Craving Connection, watch this video and order your copy today!
Craving Connection: 30 Practical Challenges for Real-Life Engagement is ready for you to grab a cup of coffee, pull a chair up to the table, and commit to creatively and prayerfully fulfilling your cravings for connection. It’s ready for a book club, a birthday gift, a bedtime read. It’s ready to have a place in your life, and to help give you hope for your friendships.
Because no matter how many times you’ve chased after friendship and been denied, rejected, turned down. . . there is hope. Really big hope, the kind that won’t disappoint because it stems from His great love. So let’s crave together, led by the One who instilled us with a longing for connection.
Craving Connection is available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Christianbook, DaySpring, LifeWay and many other stores where books are sold.
