Awesome News—The Workbook is Here!

Awesome news! Our series workbook is finally here!!!

Great for personal devos, book clubs with friends, or any kind of small group, the Mr. Right Series Workbook takes you through our three novels, one by one, chapter by chapter. We take a closer look at Julia’s story, discussing the many scenarios and dynamics, seeing what God’s Word has to say about what Julia and her friends face and experience. (Things which all of us can relate to, in one way or another. ; ) You have the chance to dig deeper into Julia’s story and then consider how things are going in your own life.

Springboarding off the characters’ lives, the workbook covers basic things like, How do I develop a genuine relationship with God?, What can I do to stay safe, online and off? What does it mean to be a true friend?  It also explores questions like, What does purity really look like? How can I get past mistakes? What dreams are closest to my heart? How can I stay on track to see my dreams come true?

We’re so excited to hear what you think of this amazing tool we wrote for you!

Please write and tell us what you learned about your story by looking at Julia’s…

Always remember that God has amazing life adventures for you! Hope our workbook inspires and encourages you more than ever!

Much love,

Lisa

What Girls are Saying —Vanessa

Such fun to find reviews like this about Julia’s story in the Mr. Right Series! (I hope to meet you one day, Vanessa! )

Our three novels make great gifts, so keep that in mind as you’re picking out Christmas presents this year! : )

If you’ve read our novels like Vanessa, we’d love to hear from you, too. Just email us a few lines of what you thought of Julia’s story, and we may post them here! In fact, we’re starting a new segment, Reader of the Month, where we ask readers about 5 q’s (a couple random ones as well as thoughts about Julia’s story)—and then feature them on this blog, so keep an eye out for that… (We’ll explain how YOU can apply to be our Reader of the Month as well.)

Also, my telling girls about the novels has some impact, but YOUR telling girls about the novels can make a HUGE impact! So if you could take a few minutes, we’d love to have you help spread the word about Julia’s story! Feel free to leave reviews on Amazon, Barnes&Noble, Christianbook.com and even highlight the series on your Facebook wall! (Have you liked our Mr. Right Series page yet? You can like it right now in the tool bar to the right, if you want! Hint, hint ; )

Thanks for helping us help more girls through Julia’s story!

We love you and are praying for you this week! Only 15 days until Christmas! Ahhhhh!

Love,

Lisa & Barbara

Radio Interview – Choicesradio.com

Here on our blog, we love to point you to great resources for your life…We found another one!  Teen Talk at www.choicesradio.com

Nicole O’Dell hosts this radio show for teens, which focuses on current issues and important girl topics. My mom and I had the privilege of being on Teen Talk last Friday, and we loved talking with Nicole!

Click here to listen to our interview. (At right of screen, click on 10/19 show.)

There we chat about the Mr. Right Series (a great explanation of each of the novels  if you haven’t read them yet) and about lots of things that girls today think and feel.

Nicole is very real and genuine. She remembers what her own teen years were like (she has a touching personal story which she shares at the beginning of last Friday’s show) and has some insight/wisdom that can really help you, especially when it comes to relationships. I think you’re going to love listening to her show often. (Even if you can’t listen live, she posts her shows on her website each week, so you can go listen to them whenever works for you.) She also has lots of books available, including some cool fiction, so check that out as well…

We were excited to be a part of Teen Talk to get the word out to more girls about Julia’s story, but also excited to relay this great new resource to you!

(If you haven’t read our novels, Waiting for Mr. Right, Meeting Mr. Right, & Marrying Mr. Right, then click here to see what girls are saying!)

Feel free to leave a comment on this post, sharing what you thought of Friday’s interview chat…We’d love to hear from you!

Have a great week!

Much love,

Lisa
