I had another look at the website of our Christian bookstore and it says 6-8 weeks, so I'm guessing they are waiting for the shipment. <br /><br />I can't wait for Amazon to start a Australian branch! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27432851.post-60601034282768352552011-01-27T12:52:51.836-06:002011-01-27T12:52:51.836-06:00So would it be unethical to send you one, Val?

There is such healing in giving thanks. It turns the soul from the negative to the truth and brings such solace. <br /><br />Looking forward to the book.<br /><br />Valeriehopeforcambodiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04121224682774062931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27432851.post-66966223441025076562011-01-25T12:11:46.460-06:002011-01-25T12:11:46.460-06:00Aw...I only hope so.

I ...Oh, I agree with all of what you wrote, Holly!! I have been impressed and inspired by the discipline, the choices Ann and her family have made - choices that have required much sacrifice. I'm so grateful that they've allowed themselves to be used in all the ways so many of us think are just too hard. <br /><br />She does inspire, doesn't she?<br /><br />So do you, you know...Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10155256816626940605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27432851.post-55501762816448838292011-01-24T17:15:02.832-06:002011-01-24T17:15:02.832-06:00Yes. Yes. Yes.
You've encapsulated many of ...Yes. Yes. Yes.<br /><br />You've encapsulated many of my thoughts.<br /><br />I've not read the book yet, April - but just from catching a glimpse of what has been happening and what God has brought about over the years at Ann's blog and in her life - this is what I've seen as well.<br /><br />I know I don't quite grasp it yet, but I intend to.<br /><br />I think it is key. I think it is the answer to "the question" of our time. I, too, wish that I could buy armloads of books to pass out - and who knows, over time, I may! :) I have so many friends that I write to and talk with weekly - their lives, my life, would be so different if we could simply understand and come to live this way.<br /><br />God is definitely doing "a work" thru this book.<br /><br />You know, I guess what strikes me and I think about all of this is that Ann makes it all look easy, and beautiful, but the truth is, is that her life change and this book came about through much discipline (both spiritual and physical) in her life. Early rising, consistent writing, reading, time regularly in God's word, memorization, set prayer times. She does not watch television, gives up much in order to devote herself to this work God is doing in her life (and thus shares with the world.) I think one of the big lessons for me is...the discipline. Do I have it? Why not? I could...<br /><br />And yes, humorously, there are a lot of us who have tried to emulate her style. I have too much sarcasm (and too little skill) to ever come close. Still, there are worse people to emulate...<br /><br />Grin.<br /><br />Blessings to you, April.Hollyhttp://www.seekingfaithfulnessblog@blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
