I’ve decided that with the busyness of summer, we’re going to postpone this study until the Fall. I don’t want people to miss out who want to join but can’t. Thanks so much for understanding!!!
Are you ready to dig deep?
Mary DeMuth and I are going to take you through some deep places on this study. Spiritual warfare is something that is often overlooked or undermined. People either don’t take it seriously, or don’t believe it exists.
I assure you it does.
As I read chapter one, I was floored at the first example Mary shares about her own life. I went through something similar and it is a tough reality to face.
Next week, I will share the story with you.
This week I want to lay the foundation of how you can expect this study to go.
Consider today the introduction. Today I will give you instructions on what we’re going to do next week, and tell you how long the study is going to run.
The votes last week were unanimous to do one chapter per week. There are 24 short chapters–totally doable, even for me!
So the study will run from June 20th (when we write/share/read about chapter 1). The last day, pending no emergencies happen in the middle, will be November 28th. Just in time for Christmas!!
Honestly, though, we can unpack this book and learn a lot. I think too often we’re in a hurry to rush through things without fully diving in and getting the most out of them.
So let’s take the time. Let’s use this time to really learn about ourselves and learn from one another. More importantly, let’s learn about what rises against us and seeks to throw us off the narrow road. This is really a sweet opportunity in so many ways.
Each Wednesday, I will have a link up. There is no pressure, but I want to encourage you to share your thoughts about the chapter on your own blog as a type of accountability.
If you aren’t comfortable sharing in community, but need someone to share with, email someone.
I look forward to diving into this journey with you. Below is the list of dates and what we’ll be discussing:

This sounds so good, but then I went to order the book and it’s shipping in 1 – 3 months?!? I’m not sure if I’ll try and join in with it if it might be September by the time I got the book.
Oh no! That’s no good!!! Let me look into that!
Hi Sheila, I switched the link to go to Barnes and Noble. They ship within one day.
Thanks. Didn’t even bother to check them, figuring it would be the same.
You know what, we’re going to have to hold off…looks like people are busy with summer activities. I don’t want people to miss out because they are busy. I think we’ll wait til the Fall to start. Then we can probably kick off with some fun giveways!
Well I guess I have plenty if time to get the book after all. Thanks!
I am reading this book at the moment! I am sooo enjoying it. It will be exciting to see what other women think of it.
I think we’re going to hold off until the Fall–looks like lots of people are busy and I don’t want people who want to join have to miss out! So hang tight a few months and be sure to pop in and share your thoughts then, OK?
Great! I already have the book and it’s on my reading list. Looks like I can jump right in with you. Very excited about it and I’m going to invite a friend!

Bummed you arent starting next week. Just ordered the book and was looking forward to the study now that homeschooling is done for a month or so!
really feel like I’m in the middle of fighting a spiritual battle right now in my life.
I’m actually glad for the delay because I might be able to participate then – will definitely have more time for it!
Yes I am glas as well for the delay. I am currently in a Bible study so by the time I get done. I can start reading this one.
