From the Author

As an accompaniment to the four Sister Circle novels and the Sister Circle Handbook, Nancy Moser and Brenda Josee give Sister Circle Seminars around the country:

The Sister Circle Seminar combines a breath of fresh air with the chance to deeply inhale the power of God's Word. Women will enjoy the opportunity to laugh at the realities of being a woman, be inspired by the knowledge that each and every one of them has special gifts and a unique purpose, and delight in the bond of sisterhood through Christ.

Our goal is to encourage women to be all God wants them to be by recognizing the special gifts He's given to them and to the women around them. By acknowledging and nurturing these inborn gifts, women are encouraged to bond in the way that only women can by forming a small-group connection with other women--a Sister Circle. It doesn't matter if they gather to share recipes, discuss a book, or go biking as long as they do get together to seek God's best for their lives.

Session One:
Discover Your Gifts: Identify the gifts God has given you to share with the world, and learn how to combine those gifts with the gifts of your sisters toward a fabulous purpose. Celebrate being a Sister in Christ!

Session Two:
How God Influences You: Discover God's plan for your life by listening to His instructions. Find contentment in being all you are meant to be by using your gifts, letting go, and doing things His way.

Session Three:
How You Influence Others: Discover how using your God-given gifts and "just being you" can be a powerful force in the lives of everyone who knows you. Discover the exciting promise and purpose of a God-filled life.

This review is from: An Undivided Heart (The Sister Circle Series #3) (Paperback)

When Evelyn's husband died, she opened Peeribaugh Place to boarders and she is accepting two new women into her home. Lucida Van Horn is looking for a rich man to keep her in the style to which she has become accustomed while Margaret is looking for a place to recover from her break up with her boyfriend. Margaret embraces the Sister Circle of Evelyn and her friends while Lucinda rejects the friendship offered to her.

The daughter of Evelyn's friend breaks up with Ted even though she still loves him because they are not on the same page religiously. Another member of the Sister Circle breaks up with her boyfriend who she also loves because he doesn't believe in religion either. Margaret find out her boyfriend wants to reconcile because she is due to inherit a substantial inheritance. In good times and bad the members of the Sister Circle are there for each other to help them get through life's downs and celebrate the good times.

Book three in the Sister Circle series is a warm relationship drama based on the friendships of women who are always ready to lend a helping hand to people in crisis. Evelyn learns to let the destructive relationship she had with her husband stop hurting her life and she looks forward to what the future has to offer. The characters are well developed and are people readers will let into their hearts. Vonette Bright and Nancy Moser write a `beautiful' story about the story of friendship. Readers will want to read the first three books in this warm and poignant series and will eagerly await book five coming out in spring of 2005.

Are you ready for more Sister Circle action as I bring you Book #3 in the Sister Circle Series. It's that time again where the old tenants move out and Evelyn Peerbaugh opens her doors once again to a new set of boarders. Evelyn has learnt always to put her trust in God , so she will check references where needed but most of the time , she believes God sends who he wants her to touch through her door. Unlike the previous two novels, where Evelyn has rented rooms to three new people, An Undivided Heart opens the door to two new faces. Lucinda and Margaret as Piper still reeling from her mother's death is staying in the third bedroom. Lucinda is stuck in the age of looking young as she has spent all her finances on plaastic surgery and Margaret is a gentle soul who is stuck between love and God which as the novel gets on , we start to see that in An Undivided Heart many of the characters will be stuck on the journey between Love and God and the decision of do you have to have both or is Love more important than having God also ? For me, personally this novel actually struck a nerve , as im in a relationship with somebody that there is no chance that God - well the one I believe in will ever happen as to him there is just a higher being in the universe. In An Undivided Heart , we see the developments and pullbacks of the relationship between Evelyn and Herb- is Evelyn ready to take the next step or is she fine with just being friends ? Newcomer Lucinda has her eyes set on Wayne- Piper's dad who is just recently widowed , will the pair hit it off or will God stand in their way and show Lucinda somebody else who is better suited to her ? In book #2 Round the Corner , we read as Piper choose God over Love in the relationship with the Doctor, now that he has chosen God's path - will the sparks re-ignite between the pair ? Newcomer Margaret has just broken up with her domineering fiance Bobby, when he decides he wants her back - is it for real or will she discover his true intentions before it's too late ? Mae's family stars predominantly in An Undivided Heart as her son Ringo and his new wife have eloped and have a baby on the way and Mae's daughter Starr is having trouble with her fiance Ted as he discovers God , Can God show Starr that he is real and worth having ?
Find out all this and more in An Undivided Heart by Nancy Moser and Vonette Bright and stay tuned readers as I bring the fourth and last book to you.
