Let Us Read
Last month at GLAM, we started a very free-form book club by first reading 7: An Experimental Mutiny Against Excess by Jen Hatmaker and then Love Does by Bob Goff. [Check out the blogs and podcasts about 7: "Book Club: Extreme Edition" | Podcast 37: "Book Club" | "Do your best and rest." and Love Does: Podcast 38: "Show You Love"]
So for those of you who are enjoying the book suggestions and discussions, we want to tell you about another awesome (slightly more organized) online book club called The Same Page. Right now the book selection is Grace for the Good Girl - "Letting go of the try-hard life."
Let us know if you are enjoying the book selections, and we will find more for you gals.

Start Your Own Purpose Project!
"One month to reach your goal. All the motivation you need." Have you always wanted to cut off your hair and donate it, run a marathon, skydive or take a dance class? What better motivation than starting your own Purpose Project! Pick your motivation (orphan care, rescuing women, clean water, etc.) and then pick your goal!
Holiday CD Benefits International Justice Mission
Looking for a creative gift idea that also benefits those in need? It Happened One Night, a musical mosaic of the season, was written and performed by many of the biggest names in Christian music - including MercyMe, Kari Jobe, Brandon Heath, Mandisa and David Crowder - who share in the vision of the International Justice Mission and donated their time and proceeds to this project. Joyful, reverent and warm, this unique collaboration offers a new take on classic Christmas songs while illuminating the issue of modern day slavery.
The best defense against abuse is mentoring!
Raising awareness for the prevalence of child sex trafficking in America is critical in the global war against human trafficking. However, audience members at community awareness events are often left feeling overwhelmed by the issue.
“What can I possibly do?” I’m often asked by those still reeling from survival stories and statistics, “How can I get involved?”
And I always answer in the same way: Become a mentor!
