The tug at my friend Allison Gingras’ heart to put together a series of guided journals for women began more than two years ago (and I have the emails to prove that!). It wasn’t like Allison didn’t already have plenty on her plate, with her family; her 
blog, Reconciled to You, and podcast, A Seeking Heart; and her work with Women in the New Evangelization. But you may notice a commonality in Allison’s ministries: she has a call to bring women closer to the Lord and to help them believe in His love. It’s just so fun to hold in my hands the first fruits of that mission the Lord had placed on her heart.
The Gift of Invitation: 7 Ways Jesus Invites You to a Life of Grace has seven 
meaty chapters, each with prayers, reflections, Scripture for study, and what I think is going to be my favorite part, an invitation to share. The book is set up to be used as either an individual or group study. I’m going to be doing it on my own this month, two chapters a week. And, knowing Allison, I’m sure I’ll be a different person in some way large or small, at the end of the study. I’m already smiling about the last line in her introduction: “May you flourish in the warmth of the Son.”
