I always encourage them to write their stories and I think some go away determined to do so. Another encouraging aspect of speaking to groups.

I read a testimony of a woman recently who became interested in Christianity because of the Mitford series of books by Jan Karon.Susan Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07673626395112361592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-515660504291275491.post-60654829531572240412016-05-20T16:27:55.485+10:002016-05-20T16:27:55.485+10:00Thanks Jo-Anne and Carolyn.

I also love how you have such a unique opportunity to connect with groups such as U3A, View Club, First Fleeters etc. And it must have felt good to sell those nine books all in one go--twice over! Well done to you - keep going!Jo-Anne Berthelsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09775045057529728396noreply@blogger.com
