Wild in the Hollow, Book Club & Giveaway

August 20, 2015 By Alecia Simersky 9 Comments

Book Shelves...Book Club GSD

We are elated to announce we are forming a book club!!

I’m excited about forming our own little space to read and come together once a week to discuss ALL the things. For this book lover a book club is better than Disney World!

We will be reading Wild in the Hollow, by Amber Haines. It’s a newly released book that I had the opportunity to review and absolutely fell in love with. I think you are going to love it too!

Wild in the Hollow is Amber’s story of searching for freedom, love, and acceptance in all the wrong places. But yet Jesus met her on a linoleum floor of the bathroom in her college dorm.

The reason I chose this book other than my obvious love for the book is I realized out of our darkest trials come our testimonies… and usually our dreams.

We each have a story.

Instead of letting our past trials make us bitter we can allow them to make us better. I hope this book encourages you as much as it did me about using my past to help others who may be stuck or feeling ashamed.

And if you don’t have a past you are ashamed about, I still think you will be able to relate to a lot of Amber’s spiritual journey.

*************

Every Thursday I will put up a short post of my thoughts on the chapter we’ve just read with some discussion questions. I’d love for you to read along and join me in the comments with your own thoughts and questions.

All you need to do right now is get the book, you can go to your local bookstore, DaySpring, or Amazon.

One lucky reader is going to get a chance to win a copy of Wild in the Hollow, which Amber has so graciously agreed to give away to one of our readers. Thank you, Amber!

We will kick off with an introductory post Thursday, September 10th.

Leave us a comment below and tell us if you plan to join in! We will use Random.org to randomly choose a winner from the comments. Winner will be announced Monday, August 24th.
