ME ME ME!!!!! I WANNA!!!!!!!!

Yep. I am sitting here eating my sweet potato and planning mine and my husband's small group based on Seven. I'll take it! ;)

OH, this is perfect for my small group!! Praying for favor! ;)

Oh me. Please. WE are dead broke. And we loved 7.

Oh Jen- Why O Why wouldn't EVERYONE want the Study.... ok, they should not just simply want it EVERYONE NEEDS it... trick... err as you said inspire, 9 people I could compile a list of 99 that would LOVE to join in this adventure!!
Your book was such an inspiration to me, I KNOW the study MUST MUST be AMAZING, I would love you to "pick" me, but either way I'm gonna be rocking me some 7 NEW study habits in this glorious and wonderful new year!!!

I just sent an email last night to a whole group of girlfriends about doing the 7 study, and we are all getting really excited about it! This would make it SO much better!!

I have been looking for a study to do and have been wanting to read your book! Maybe this is the kick in the pants I need to do it!! :) Pick me! Pick me! :)

I would LOVE to do this with my small group! We're ready to eliminate the excess...or at least I'm speaking for all of them and then I'll let them know they're ready! : )

Starting a group TONIGHT with a handful of gals from church. I want to be encouraged and challenged to revolutionize my habits to make a bigger impact on the kingdom!

I'm totally in!

I would LOVE to take my 11th-12th grade girls small group through this! What better way to send them out into the world soon than this study?!

This would be perfect for our small group!!!!

Love this!!

Our Monday morning Ladies study would be thrilled! Pick us!!!!!

Yup, we would love this!!

Oh man! I'm a small group youth leader at my church, and I would love to try to trick/inspire my teens to do this with me! Or if not them, I think I can get my adults small group to do it with me. :)

Holy cow! Me!

Oh how I would love for this to be our next Wednesday night study! *fingers crossed* or something more spiritual than that ;)

I'd love to do this. I'd ask my sister & some friends. Of course, we'll probably have to do it via Skype living in different cities, but it'll be great.

I would love for the women of our church plant to do this together! I hope we're chosen!

YES!!!! I would LOVE to have this study. I read the book and loved it. I am already thinking of the ladies that could join us. Pick me. :)

A group and I went through Interrupted together and LOVED it (ok, we hated it but grew so much). I'm pretty sure we're ready to be messed with again.

I'm living in a new town. I think this would be an excellent way to get to know my neighbors or my new small group at church. Or - they might run me out of town on a rail. Either way, I'll take it! (BTW - I read the book a year ago and did an adapted version of 7 myself. :))

Oh my!!! I read your book last year and could not put it down. Honestly turned to my husband one night reading it and said 'we could totally be friends!'. You put into words the real struggles and thoughts I face every day and don't speak out loud. I loved it and constantly tell others...grab 7...it'll knock your socks off. We have a small bible study of neighborhood moms that this would be PERFECT for. Right now there are only 9 members....but I know just the friend I'd ask to be the 10th. (She read 7 right after me....and loved it. She is a funny funny follower of Christ!! )

Oh my word, we are just finishing the book and we talked last night about doing the study... this would be SO AWESOME!! Crossing my fingers!!

I would LOVE to have this study!! I would invite moms from my MOPS group and my home church. MOPS moms love to keep each other accountable! Select me!

Yes! Yes!! Would be an amazing study to do with my adoptive mommy group! We are all bringing home Haitian babies this year!!!!

A whole slew of us read this last year and ended up talking more about 7 during our summer Bible study than we did about the book that we were actually suppose to be studying. So this summer, once all of my teacher friends have some time off, we are just going to make 7 our official topic of study. I would love to get a set for half price!!! Please?!? Thanks for the opportunity!

I want it! I just read Out of the spin cycle, Interrupted and 7 we did months 1 and 2 as a family then I was on my own so, I'm on a little sabbatical. I already suggested it to my pastor for our small group last semester. He's interested, if I brought it I'm sure he would be on board.

Pick me!!! I'm the leader of a fearless group of women with hearts for Jesus! We'd love to take the 7 challenge :)

Me,me,me!,! We want to do this for our small group. We tried and failed over the summer from just the book. I bet we can rally behind the bible study better :)). I'd love another chance!

I am ready for 2013 to be the year of change and focused living! I am tired of living in a rut and thinking maybe this Bible Study is what we need.

Ok, we want, but we don't to. But, I really think we want to!

i am trying to get people to do this with me! my strategy so far has been repetition (i'm pretending i have dementia: "did i tell you about this amazing book? you HAVE to read it and then do it with me. oh i did? twice??..."), and i will be resorting to trickery forthwith.

I want to so bad!!! I've been blabbing about this book at MOPS for the past 3 months and I'd love to bring a bunch of the girls on board with me! Who knows!? Maybe our brunch for 70 women could consist of spinach, sweet potatoes and apple slices??? Maybe that's a bit ambitious:) I'd love to lead a group with this book though!!!

Sounds great! Read it last year, would love to do
The study with a small group:)

I am pretty sure I can trick, oh I mean, Truly Inspire some of peeps to do this! We were just talking about it on FB recently and us So Cal folks can sure use some reduction in our lives!!

I would LOVE to do this. Why? Just the minimal stuff I did and what I discovered about myself and my relationship with God during reading 7 helped me see a different world outside my own.

Who would I ask? I think I would ask just people I know, people I work with, family members. I would love to have a study with people outside my women's group and church.

Oh ME!! We are the freak family with our adopted kids and limits on what our kids get/have - our area so needs this!

I can easily trick I mean inspire my friends

Hi my name is Kerri and I've been there done that 7 thing last summer. Poor hubby lost his pool bids over a garden. Haa sucker. I'm still crazy over it but losing luster so I would love to lead 10 of my just as insane lady friends right along with me in an all new level of 7. Bring it!
Kerri Washburn

My friend & I were JUST discussing this study & how we couldn't find it on-line. Love it when God shows you the way via social media. We all ready have a new group forming for this month. Really want to go deeper with God on how to get out of the ipad, iphone, xbox, 6 TV family rat race.

This would be so cool! I have already been getting some of the high school girls in my youth group interested in this and we are going to be doing the challenge together so having a curriculum to work through would be the cherry on top!!

My girlfriends and I are planning to start sometime this month...this would be such a blessing!!

Our groups wants in ;)

I would love to be able to share this with my moms bible study! I loved reading through 7 so it only seems fitting to "pay the blessing forward"!

Tena

I'm a "pastor's wife" (sans halo) in the pacific NW who actually managed to convince a posse of 7 to try the food fast.....We'd love to work on the whole real deal!

Perfect timing! My small group of girls is looking for a new study to start and this would be perfect.

Hi Jen! I have a group of about 15 moms I help lead at my church City of grace in Mesa, Arizona. We are doing your study next!! We demanded..err..chose to do 7 as our next study for so many reasons. But the main reason is to show these awesome women of God how much God desires us to have freedom in him!! And how to be stewards of what we have. This would be awesome to win!!

Thanks so much!!

Woot! The other day I saw a cold woman walking on the freeway in the rain. I stopped to pick her up, bought her lunch and took her to the women's shelter. I would have never in a million years done this before I read 7. I didn't even know where the shelter WAS before this book impacted my life and I got more involved there. Would love to get the study in my hot little hands and share it with others!

PICK ME! Puhhhleasssse!

In for sure! I read 7 last year and loved it! I've been praying for the right group of ladies to dig in with and just finished gathering them. They are friends from all different places in my life. We all want more with less...

I would love to lead my young adult women through this study! I have been feeling like this is something we all need to hear!

Oh gosh... Our small group needs this SO bad. The women have pretty much sang your praises since 7 but getting hubs in board too, would be awesome. This is a great price, but since many in our group are unable to pay & some in our homeless community may join, we've been encouraged by the church to use free, online studies, as not to push others away who can't contribute. We love you & love 7 & I'm sure 7 is amazing in study form. Blessings to the group who wins. I hope God moves mountains for y'all.

Yep. Loved 7. I'd ask my own council to join me. This would include my prayer partner and friend , my adoptive mom friends & two or three peers. Thx Jen! Women of Faith conference is on my to do list this year. I am only 3 hrs from Seattle. If that doesn't work I will just have to come to Texas. Good?

I am a stay-at-home-mom, pastorwifen mom of 4 that has been DTE for 2 children since 10/07/11 with AWAA. I started a ministry 3 years ago that God has run away with :). http://www.blessingsinabackpack.org/PeopleFirst2012.aspx (I am the two Feb articles). I live the 7 as much as I can, but I can't write or speak the why you can. I have already been through the book once with one friend, but I would love the whole set to go through with more people in our church. We started our church 5 years ago to make an impact in our community. We have a good deal of granola eating adoptive moms. This would be such a blessing to us.

My mom to mom group is lOoking for a study. We would love love to do this! We have been recently talking about the excess that consumes our thoughts and how we spend our time dealing with it. This would be a great study for us here in Indiana!

Please pick us!! Our group would love it! :)

Me please

Wow! This would be great! I'd LOVE to do this!! Pick me, pick me :)

Pick me! Pick me! Or don't. Maybe I don't want you to, but maybe you should.

Me! I would LOOOOOOVE to win this. Now that I've taken all of my Christmas decor down, I'm still hit with the fact that my house is a mess of clutter that we DON'T NEED! I went to Ethiopia in October and since then I've been overwhelmed with the burden of being so privileged and the waste that I spend my money on that could be used by someone that really needs it. I want to be a better steward of what God has entrusted to me.

Oh, this sounds perfect! My husband leads a group and we're looking for something real and practical this next session.

My book club read 7. 15 or so ladies with lives changed and freed from bondage. Would love the experiment and seeing where God moves next!

Jens this is MEANT for me. It's been on my heart to do this with a group of friends, and I hovered over th box on amazon last night and waited. Clearly it's because I'm meant to have this set instead!!

Me! This would be perfect for our Sunday school class.

I'll take it!

Our small group have been talking about this study and how great it would be! We start up again with a new study, to be determined next week!! This would be perfect!!!

Us, us, us... we would LOVE to plug the conference with a follow up bible study and offer it to all the area ladies to come! :)))

This sounds like a perfect next turn for my Girlfriends council. In the last 2 years God's called one of us to add 2 Ethiopian teenagers to her family of 8, another to adopt an older child out if local foster care, one to move her family of 7 to Thailand as full time missionaries, and another to start traveling with her husband on medical missions trips. They haven't read 7 yet, only I have.....I think it's time to push the whole lot of us over the edge!

I would love this study!! As a working mom & middle school teacher, these principles are so relevant to my life. Pick me!

My best friend got me to read the book and now we joke about moving to Austin to try to find a way on the council. (We live in DFW). We read the book and were inspired, but like so many things continued on living our lives with a few cuts here and there. We'd love to do this with our friends. Please send my way!

Yes! I would love to do with some of the women in my life. Several of us have read 7 and loved it!

I read 7 last January and then proceeded to give it to lots of other people. I tried my own version on my own without a council or accountability and failed miserably. So, I would love the opportunity to try again with some other people to experience it with me. I think if I won this, I would have friends fighting to be in the group of 10. We'll see. Thanks for the opportunity.

I want the 7 Experiment bc I want something that will change my life and my family's life this year! I would love to ask 10 ladies in our church to join me on this crazy journey and I think they would be excited to do so!

We have been planning on doing this study-- i read and loved the book-- and i have 6 ppl committed to coming so far-- It is so timely and we would be soooo grateful if we won!

You are such an inspiration and are always looking for new ways to bless others. Thank you for showing me kindness in so many ways.

The amount of cheating and twisting my wife and I have done to your precious book will make you laugh. Even with all that cheating it has been a real life changer. Our first Community group at 519 church in Apex NC would love to do this!!

Ooooo, my small group would LOVE this! We're a group of nine twenty and thirty something women in the work force and working for Jesus in Tacoma, Washington. What a blessing this would be. We are brave and bold - we are totally cra cra enough for this. :)

I would love to be apart of the 7 Experiment!!! Plus it would be good to see you again even if it is via Skype :)

My small group would love this!!!

This would be amazing for our small group! We've gotten really close "doing life together" over the past year, and this would be just what we need to take things to the next level. :)

Our group would love this! I'd be the cheater, I'm in the serious rule following bunch.

I would love to use this study with a group of women from church. They are all in their 20's and I adore their perky young selves.

PLEASE pick me! If we lived near each other, I am certain we would be BFF's. I have referred to you as, "My friend, Jen," ever since I read 7 last year. My family is sick to death of me AND you. ;)

Yes please! I read 7 last year and plan on reading it again this year as the season I am in has changed so much since then. Hoping I get one of these sets so I can share the joy of your words with friends!

Just sayin... it would make a GREAT bday gift! I will promise to find some of my people I know here and bring them through it! :) or maybe some of the staff at Arrow! And instead of a Skype date, I'll treat at this really great Asian restaurant by a big playground! hahahahaha!

I want to win and do the 7 experiment with my girlfriend's bible study group because we are launching a church this month and we want to draw closer to God this year as we follow His calling. While I individually have been doing a smaller version of 7, I want to see how God can change this nine women's lives this year through this study! We just finished reading as a group, "Soul Detox" so "7" seems like a perfect follow-up!

I would LOVE to go through the study with my friends--ready the book was very eye-opening to me...like nothing I've ever read before. I would be laughing so hard & then boom! You just lay something out there that was so sobering to me & how God is calling me to change my ways. I have a great circle of friends who I know would love to do the study, too...and the opportunity to skpe with you--awesome! :)

Yes, I would love to do this new study with my home group from church. My husband and I do mission work in Haiti and India - THIS is what we have been talking about.

Me me me! Would love this with a couples lifegroup!

I would love to do this with my girls! I'm in a leadership class the next 3 months and I want something to dig into...I loved 7 and was changed by page 174...so many tears! Thanks for a great offer and I love your sense of humor!!

I was just thinking I'd love to go through this book with others. I'm in!

Yes, please!

I would be scared to be picked but if I am, maybe it's a sign!

I have a wonderful group of new young moms who meet together weekly for Bible study. I've been eyeing this as our potential next study, and would love to bless them with this gift that will assuredly bless them and their growing families.

My sister (Tara Kohlbacher) has already pulled together a group of women (including myself!) to start the study on February 6! I enlisted the help of my sisters to purge a number of items from my closet yesterday and I know I still have a long way to go this year as I work towards aligning my priorities with Christ's!

As a 24 year old, I read your book right out of college. I was struggling to live a life that was meaningful and to hear God's voice. This book changed the way I began to view the world and what type of footprint I want to leave behind for my future children and future generations. I would love to do this study with other 20-somethings within my city and church, whether Christian or non-Christian. Would absolutely LOVE to receive this half-price opportunity! Have already begun sending out e-mails to friends and family!

Loved the book and just suggested this study to my Tuesday morning ladies group. This would be great!

Ok Jen. I'm nervous as all get out about this and just even trying this because, yes, what in the world am I going to have to give up!!! But, as I type this, I am getting together a women's Bible study for our church and ladies in our area in west TN. I saw you at DotMom, read your blog, laugh with you (especially on Christmas Eve). So, here we go. I'm a SAHM (That's our fb page for our group of ladies) with three kids-5,3, and1. Off I go to clean up someone who has yet to decide he can and must poop in the potty. I can't wait to see who you pick!!!

It's meant to be! My small group had decided before Christmas to do this study in January and we were just corresponding about where we could track down the books. Tracking them down from the author would be a pretty sweet deal! p.s. Loved all the Dowton Abbey updates. Have you and Sydney watched BBC's Pride and Prejudice? It will change your life! :-)

Im so scared of this book. It has sat on my shelf for months. I even read the intro. I know it is going to wreck me. I need it. Putting it in Bible study format could be just the accountability I need. Im sure I can "trick" some friends into it as well! Pick me : )

We have a group of women at our very small country church who meet once a month for a bible study. We are - as we "speak" - in the process of deciding what to do for our next study. We've done book studies as well as studied books from the Bible. (We just concluded a study of Philippians - awesome!). I've suggested studying 7 - and my pastor and his wife are reading it right now. I don't know if it will rock their world like it did mine, but I'm hoping so. He just came back from China totally feeling the need to declutter his media life. (And that's when I handed him "7" and said, "you MUST read THIS!"...

Our women's group has about 8-12 consistent attendees. To win this set would seal the deal! Thanks for the chance...

My small group has already planned to do your study so this would be awesome. Since visiting Ethiopia in 2010 I have just been bogged down with all of our "stuff"!! Our small group wants to do a yard sale after purging all of our extra junk and use it for some type of mission project. Please pick us!!!

I would love this study (because the book was life changing!) and the girls I lead in our bible study have been excited about the release of this study because I mention the book ALL the time!!!

I want to win this for our Small Group Ministry! So it can be used over and over and over again. We don't have a budget for buying resources so this would be awesome! Groups pitch in and purchase materials and then donate them to the ministry for other groups to use. I would love to add this to what we have available!

I do organize a study every year at my church and would love to win this!!

Would love to mess my friends up by going through this with them!!

Pick me! My small group is starting next month

Pick me, pick me, pleeeeeasssssssee!! I read this last year and would live to trick some of my work buddies to join in on the study!!! We'll make you so proud, I just know it!!

Does it disqualify me if I tell you I would pay full price, but half price would be lovely.

This is the book my husband and I are proposing to our small group tonight! We'd love to be chosen!

I'm thinking our youth group! Minus a youth director right now, so we have a bunch of misfit adult volunteers trying to hold it together - this would be SUPER! Thanks for the opportunity!

I had a conversation with my sister in law last week about this study! She suggested that since I'm a big fan of yours that I should host a group. And now you offer me a chance to get it for cheap! My hesitation was that I'm not a real "leader" type of person, so I'm glad to know that I'm qualified if I can press the play button. :)

Oh. Pick me pick me pick me!! Our group starts next Monday, the 14th!! We are all excited and nervous, but expectant!!! And they'll all blame me if its hard and painful and awful, because I read the book and said we HAAAAAAD to do this! :)

Woohoo!! I can't wait to start this! I already read the book and it changed my perspective and now I'm overwhelmed by my life and am not sure where to start so this would definitely help!

I'm leading a group of 8 women are seniors in college through the study this semester - we actually have the books (I gave them to them as Christmas presents, but we haven't started yet), but I'm entering anyway because WE WANT TO SKYPE WITH YOU!!! They're amazing. Please let us talk to you! :)

We would love to do this! Some friends & I just met last week to discuss starting a study of your book. I loved it & hated it all at the same time. ;) Thanks for challenging us.

We want it! Add our name to the bucket! Our small group has been wrecked by 7 and we would LOVE to do the actual study! Thank you for writing this book. So transforming. WE LOVE JEN!!

Several of us gals in our small group read Seven over the summer and we were totally ticked at you - in a good way. In fact, we have been doing crazy stuff - like this past Saturday we cooked breakfast for the homeless people and it was such a blessing! We have been wondering if the rest of our group was ready for the Seven Study. That is why we NEED to win! Ready or not, here we come!

Please pick me; pick me!

My group has decided on this for our next session and well, we are Jen Hatmaker groupies. :-) Cannot wait!!! Pick us!

My bible study group would LOVE this study! We are a group of moms who love us some bible study. :-). We have 9 in our group.

I need this bible study!!! LOVED the book! Thank you so much for giving me focus during such a stressful time in my life (my hubby's deployment with two 2-year old twin boys!)

I would love this for my group of girlfriends. We are in the young kiddos stage and our homes are taken over by baby gear, toys and clothes and our days are filled with Target trips, playdates and STRESS. Some of the girls I'm thinking of don't know Jesus and I think this would be a great opportunity to further His kingdom.
And...we may just road trip it from Dallas to Austin and take you to dinner instead of skyping. We are ALL about finding reasons to leave the kids with the husbands!

i would love it

Jen:

PLEASE PICK ME for the following reasons:

1. I get you...
2. I get your sense of humor
3. I "got it" about excess when our college girls did this book as a bible study
4. We are already practically best friends since I met you at Glorietta in the Chapel (I'm sure you remember)
5. We are just as funny as you and we would certainly laugh our head off
6. I am an old lady working with college aged girls and you would be the injection of needed "hip"
7. I plan to start a stripper ministry in 2013 so this material could be used for both groups.
8. See....lots of reasons to pick me. XOXO

I would LOVE this!

I would love this to lead a new group during Sunday School. Our SS leader just moved on to other things and we are looking for something to sink our teeth into next

Me,me,me!!!!

Jen, I would like to do this with either my small group or our sunday school class! this is great! thank you for inspiring me!

I have begun reading the book this past week and have plans to start a small group in the next month or two. I am in the CLD classes through GGBTS and am to start a small group this semester. A few of my friends have already shown interest in "simplifying" this year and one lady approached me out of nowhere and asked me if I'd ever heard of your book. I know that God is leading us to do this and I hope for a bigger reason than just cleaning out closets or making things simpler. I look forward to learning and discovering what God has in store for us. I am both excited and dreading it. ;-)

Pick me, pick me, pick me!!!!!

I have not had the pleasure of reading 7 just yet, I am reading your "a modern Girls guide to Bible Study" and I'm enjoying every word written! You are amazing! I'm so glad God created people like you who reflect his light and inspire people to follow Him! I love Jesus and this year I want my relationship with Him to grow deeper and not focus on material things! What better way than to do the 7 study! We just joined a new church in San Diego and its a small church, just got established about a year ago, I can't think of a better way to get to know my sisters in Christ and grow together in deepening our relationship with Jesus and each other! Pick US!

If my group wins I promise to not skype in my robe...now that's a serious commitment.

Oh my goodness. Our small group is meeting Thursday night to figure out which Bible study we will do next. I would love to expose them to this... to you. :o) God used 7 to continue work he had already started in my husband and I to free ourselves from 'the American dream' and start living the way God intended. We love the families in our small group but have been discouraged by their lack of willingness to give and serve- and they are doctors, an attorneys and engineers! We know they have plenty if we (homeschooling mom and production line worker dad) have plenty. I would love to get this for God to use it to change hearts in our town.

My Bible study that has been studying the Chronological Bible are taking a break and doing 7 to start our year off! We have already purchased the kit and books and start tomorrow. Please pray for me and my girls that we may keep the focus on hearing from God instead of just deck uttering our lives.

I just got off the phone with the small group coordinator at my church about what to study next. I call that timing! ;-)

I've already got 12 girls signed up to start the study beginning on Feb. 6th! I'm so excited! We'd love the discounted rate. :) Pick us! Pick us!

I'm on the last chapter of the book and I sometimes think I'm crazy for wanting to do this! But I so identified with you, to the point I know I'd pick you as my friend if I lived in Texas. I've already been praying God would send me the groupies! Don't know who they'll be....but they better be as adventurous and funny as your clan! I've already gone through my closet - round 1! Plan on a few more rounds!!! I just want to say thank you Jen - you rock!! :)

Oh! I would love it! I just "found" you not long ago, and reading your words was like hearing my own heart. In the last year, I've seen God moving the hearts of many people I know toward the heart of Christianity...myself included. There is a group of women I know who are all hungry for a deeper, more real walk with God...a stripping down of excess and a rekindling of what the gospel really calls us to do. What a blessing it would be to go through this study together!

Pick our group!

Oh shucks. I read your book. Devoured it. Emptied my closet and refrigerator. Gave to the homeless and prayed for orphans with the zeal of the newly converted. It was all my husband heard me talk about - I even tried to take the coat off his back - in February - and give it to the guy with the "will work for food" sign we pass every Sunday on our way to church. (What? I totally would have given my jacket, but I'm a girl, see. And it was purple...)

But then March happened, and rolled into April, and here we are almost a year later and I need help. On my to-do list today is "find the clothes that need returning." Find them. Because we have so many, in a house so full of stuff, that they've gone missing in less time than it took the wise men to get to baby Jesus.

My new small group has agreed to start the year off doing Seven together - the bible study kit (and Skype session with you!) would be such a gift

YES please. My small group of young married couple would love this! I just finished 7 and want to share it with everyone i know!

Me please!! I lead a Marrieds group at church - over 30 couples attend! We could really use this!! We are supposed to start a new study in a couple weeks and I have been diligently praying about a new 9 week study. I hope this is it! Love your books!!

I want to win the package for the group of us here in Chicago, IL who haven't even a clue on when or how to start. What a great offer, should my name be chosen, the mission begins. Jen thanks for offering this & most importantly yourself to this challenge, skype with Jen Hatmaker?!!! Life on earth does have many rewards....may the journey begin this way or another!!

Trying to come up with a way to trick YOU, into picking ME!! Our little group would soooooo enjoy and love this!! I pretend you are my frie f anyway, so a Skype sesh might make people believe me a little ;) thanks for the chance!!!

I've been on this simplicity journey for a few years now (much of it out of financial necessity) and my heart still has a loooong way to go. I just started reading 7 a couple of days ago and can't put it down! I can't wait for the study! Thank you for being brave in sharing your journey with us and letting us coming along with you!

My friends and I have been talking about doing a book club on 7...nothing like putting money where my mouth is to motivate me to do it!

I'm slated to lead our sunday school class for the first time this winter and would LOVE to lead this! The book was life changing for our family

My girlfriends and I have already talked about doing this! Can't wait! A few of us have already started our "fight against excess"!!

Would love to do this with my girlfriends we have talked about it a lot . Something we all struggle with

Done. And you can thank me later for introducing you to my friends via Skype. They're THAT awesome.

Honestly, I've been terrified to read your book. Ignorance s bliss and all that.... But after going to El Salvador for the last three years, I need to do it. I need to have my living match my heart. And in turn help my friends understand so I don't look like I've gone off the deep end :)

The quiet little mountains of NC are inhabited with the most brave, raucous folks on earth. We eat revolution for breakfast. Let us win. Please. And, pretty please. No pressure. (Pick us.) :)

Just was chatting with a friend this morning about the best way to invest in your study so we could share it with all our friends!! Fun to read about this now! Either way, I will invest in it. I have been so very blessed by your book. Thank you for sharing your heart. Looking forward to sharing how God has used your book to encourage me with my friends!!

Sounds like a great and well needed study!!!

My MOPS Book Study group would LOOOOOOOOOOVE this!

Jen, you had me at Hello. 7 pages into 7 I had already texted everyone I know. THIS is the Kick-in-the-butt, er, ENCOURAGEMENT we've been LOOKING FOR! I will do the study with or without winning but girlfriend, take pity on a fellow cheapskate mother of five and pick me.

PS. Today is my Day 1 of eating 7 foods and did I mention, I only started the book last week?

PPS. If you pick me, I will reciprocate and send you a free copy of my book The Kids Drank Pickle Juice.

Our little churh-start group is starting 7 tonight-- we decided it before Christmas! We would LOVE to have the DVDs!! Xoxo

I would absolutely love to do this with a group of women. Me please!!

if i win this, i will trick 10 friends into joining me. im going out on a limb here with the idea that if i win, then it was meant to be! i started our fight against excess last year during lent as i read your book and it has changed alot about the way we live. i want others to be freer to so heres hoping i win!

We would love to do this study. We are a group of ladies who already meet on Tuesday mornings to do bible study. We have been looking for one to do next and this would be PERFECT!! Please pick us! :) Pretty please :)

This would be awesome for our small mom's group. Kind of scary... But awesome!

Sounds like a great study!

I never win a darned thing, but I'll take another shot at it :)

I

I absolutely LOVED the book and have been trying to come up with a way to do this
In a small group setting! You are an answer to my prayers!! I would open it up to our women's group at church and combine it with raising money for a water project we are trying to get off the ground for a community in Africa!
P.S. you're not the only one who watched 2 seasons of Downton Abbey in two days!!

Would love to get this study! Our small group was just talking about needing a new study once we finish our Beth Moore one! Our family has changed so much since I read 7 (adopting, giving more, cutting out excess) and I'd love to do this study to continue the work God is doing to wreck the life we had planned for ourselves and mold us to His plan.

We would live to do this study!! We have a small group that meets on Sunday nights. Our group would love to use this opportunity to teach ourselves as well as our 11 kids how to live this way.

Read the book, can't stop talking about the book, ready to bring my beloved home group along for the ride.

We would love to do this in my women's bible study! At least I am pretty sure I could convince the rest of them that it's only 9 weeks ;)

Oh please, oh please! Meeting with a small group at the end of the month to discuss the book - what a blessing it would be to take that discussion and turn it into this study together!

Yes... With the requisite fear and trembling.

This would be an amazing gift to have for the reduced price to share with most precious friends in my life! I would have all my friends over to my house and we would do this together!!!!! There are so many of us who have read your books and have pushed to RETHINK life and what God desires from us!!! Thanks for this offer!!!

I would love to have a copy of this study! I just finished reading 7 and it has wrecked my life! I am 25 years old and feel like I am so alone in this journey toward limiting excess! I would love to include my family and some friends in this journey! I would love to be able to involve others in this life changing book/study! It completely re-defined Christianity for me...

Tag!!!

This sounds perfect for my bible study! We are a group that has been meeting together for several years and need something new and challenging to open us up to God's new possibilities for our lives! I'm the leader. We are about 15-20 people strong if everyone is there on a given week. Presbyterians (USA) but from a mixture of backgrounds. We meet on Thursdays! Would love to try it!

I will ask my bible study girls...a group of young moms who have been meeting weekly for three years!

My Titus 2 group has started the & challenges and are really having a blast. Never been this hungry for so long a period but we are determined. We prefer to not label our little transgressions as cheating but rather not being legalistic. Would love to be able to work through your study.

I'm in...and afraid :)

This is an answer to prayer! A group of outreach, service-minded friends and I were just talking about starting a new Bible study and someone mentioned Seven since we'd already finished Interrupted. We're all in, Jen! Please choose our group of gals and help us to become transformed this year, wiped clean with a fresh new focus on serving our community for the glory of God.

I'm starting a crochet/knitting group at my home tomorrow night that will run for about 8-12 weeks. Wouldn't that be a hoot to "add a little"...inspiration! :) "7" changed me. I'm headed to Uganda on the 21st. Heard you were recently there too. I'd adore this gift, Jen. And use it well.

I need this.
Married to a minister. Served churches since 1991.
In a desert, and did not know it.
Wish we could be friends. Your sense of humor speaks to mine.
Our "church" ladies could use this too..www.belleaire.org/women

I've been leading studies with CRU for 20 years and would love to try yours with my college seniors from Appalachian State in Boone, NC!

Oh yes! This would be perfect for my family and friends!!!

I'd pay the full price regardless, but my group would LOVE the opportunity to Skype with you. We all wish we lived in Austin so we could secretly stalk you (in the most Christian way possible)...we are doomed to cyber-stalk you from Dallas.

My small women's group NEEDS this!

Oh yes! Pick me! I am heading into a new ministry at a new church in a new town. It's scary but I reckon this will be the way to make new friends! Also, I haven't seen 7 in New Zealand and it needs to be here! :-)

Oh Jen you really need to pick me! Let me tell you why.... I am a new Pastors wife of a small church in Sevierville , Tn. My husband and I have no experience or qualifications. Just a heart after God, strong conviction and a calling.
I came across your book Interrupted a few months ago and wow, it is my heart put into words. I read it to anyone who would listen and actually turned it into a weekly bible study with some ladies from church. I have been dying to get Seven and do the same. When I discovered it was a bible study I was thrilled! Those who are closest to me are probably scared to death that you will pick me. Ha! But I pray you do!
I have read, quoted you and obsessed to anyone who will listen about your book, Heidi Bakers, and Katie Davis' books as well. They now joke and say things like "is this from the book of Katie or the book of Heidi"? Lol Now its "the book of Jen" :-) Jen I adore your heart and can not get enough of your writings. We are small like I said and our budget is also teeny tiny so to have this gift would be just that... an incredible gift! Thank-you for having the courage to share your heart with us. I know it is not always the popular thing but man God us using you to challenge so many of us. God bless you sister!

7 was just what my heart was crying out for this past year! And, it's just what so many in our church need!

I would love a set to go through. Have been "tricking" more into reading 7 with good thoughts coming back.

We were just restarting our bible study for this winter. It is a small group of worn from all ages and walks of life, this would be perfect for us! I had been looking on amazon in hopes to order this study but nothing was out yet! Pick us!! I have a dear friend in the study with a sense if humor so similar to yours! To Skype with you would be freaking awesome!! Pick us!!!! Please and thank you. :)

I stumbled upon this as I sat & ate my oatmeal & a whey protein shake...this would be fantastic. I finished reading Interrupted last night for the study I'll be facilitating in the next week. When we finish Interrupted we are diving into 7. I thought it was best to wade alowly into the deep waters :)
One of my passions is help women be who they are suppose to be, to "be faithful to what is in front of them' (Katie Davis).
As some one who is fumbling through what God has next I know being or willing to be uncomfortable is key (some times I just want to shove them out of the nest). Thanks for sharing your journey!

I read the book last year, and I would LOVE to walk through this again with a group of my friends! Please pick my name! :)

Would love to have this resource for our small group of women AND men!!

I love you, Jen Hatmaker, whether I win or not :) I have spread your name and your gifts far and wide and am definitely the engineer of the Jen Hatmaker Train !
I would share this with my loving, hard-working group of single parent friends. They deserve it!
xoxo

I would LOVE to do this with the college small group I lead and let's face it, NO college student is going to pitch in to help cover the cost!

This would be perfect for my MOPS group in Florence KY!!! I am going to our meeting this week with a short list of titles for the ladies to choose from for our study and "7" is on it! I hope our group is a winner, but even if we don't win this discount we will still win :) by reading the book. I read it while I was in Japan last summer and loved it!!! Can't wait to share it with others.

I've never led a small group but I'd be willing to try...good stuff, sis.

My group would LOVE to have this set! A few girlfriends from church recently formed a study group and went through Interrupted. We were all moved and changed in some way. Good discussion and inspiration among each other. We took a break for the holidays and are trying to get back together again and we were planning on doing 7 this time around. I read it a while back and loved it so I thought these ladies would like to do a simplified version of it together. I can't tell you how much i would love to experience this with my friends...normal mamas who are striving to follow God's will for their lives and willing to make waves of change.

Ok, so I'm totally going to pull the "I got robbed in Lima, Peru yesterday, where I am a missionary and could REALLY use this study AND have 9 other awesome missionary friends here that would LOVE to do with me" card!!!! PS. We really did have our house broken into and stuff stolen but hey at least we can already start off the study with less stuff, HAHA!!! Nothing like having your life simplified FOR YOU!

Ooh I've read the book and love it! I'd so totally form a women's small group at church to actually live out 7.

Seven totally messed me up last year, and I am so thankful for its (your) impact, encouragement, and bold challenges to simplify and fill every nook and cranny of my life with MORE JESUS!!!! Would love this opportunity!!! So cool!!! This must be why I randomly chose to eat a throwback from my own Seven journey for breakfast.... coincidence?! Praying not!!!! Ha!

Would love this set for our small group (consists of a total of 6 couples - we can share). Personally have read "7" and have introduced to our small group - would love the opportunity to go through the study with them. Thanks for all you do.

Yes, yes, yes! We've read the book and we've been waiting for this!

My dear friend Sarah has opened her heart and home for this study, I'd love to gift her with this!

My small group is just finishing 7! It has been amazing and we'd love to do this study. My church is also going through major transition at the moment and much of that change is so that we look more like the early church that you discuss on Day 25 of the spending chapter. I would love to dig deeper into The Word with the study version of 7 with the awesome ladies in my small group!

I posted on Facebook....couldn't get all of my message to post here. Thanks, Kathy Petty Reed (as listed on Facebook) :)

A few of my friends and I drank the kool aid this summer, and it's been awesome! God's really using it in our lives. A lot of seeing past the stuff/junk/excess and actually seeing people. BUT, we have more friends who are testing the waters but haven't taken the entire plunge. We need this. And like Jen Sheridan said, you'll thank us for the Skype session! ;)

My Sunday School class is seriously ready for this. We've discussed doing this as a group, but have had trouble getting organized. This would help greatly!

Hey, I just finished your book last month and it still has my head spinning. I like to make New Year Character Resolutions at the beginning of each year. This year I've decided to not be as easily pleased. It's from C.S. Lewis' quote in 1941 how a young child will stay content making mud pies in the slums because he cannot understand what is meant by the offer to vacation by the sea. C.S. Lewis said we are far too easily pleased. Well, this year I don't want to be. I want to search for God's hidden treasure and mutiny against the excess that is stopping me. I've been praying for my sister and brother-in-law and how I can be impacting them in my pursuit. My husband, my small group at church, and my book club have already participated in discussions with me... and I envision more to come. I even gave my brother-in-law your book for Christmas! Thank you for challenging my life.

This would be so awesome for our girls small group, we so enjoyed 7 and need a new devotion! This would be a wonderful opportunity for us to all grow closer to Christ.

i am all in. and I know I can find a small group of my friends for the journey!
please pick me! (like when we picked kickball teams in Fifth grade, except now i am
53)

This is perfect! I just started a women's bible study at my work. There are 15 of us. I know the ladies would be very interested in this study and especially being able to skype with you, Jen. Thanks for the opportunity to apply!

PICK US JEN!!

We're a group of poor, busy, overwhelmed college students in Colorado who are doing the study together. Not to guilt trip you or anything;) But we are just a group of 10 crazy girls who love the Lord, love each other, and have quickly started to love you!! WE WOULD LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE TO SKYPE WITH YOU!

If you wanted, you could even come over and we would make you dinner--but our cooking might make your month of 7 foods sound appealing again.

Thanks for the challenge you have created for us this next semester!

Ok, so I lead a small group of girls here at Irving Bible Church in Irving, TX. We are already planning on doing the study for Lent this year and it would be SO amazing to get to do it this way. I have been wanting to do 7 as a group since last year and when your study came out, got the girls to agree (read: dragged them kicking and screaming).

I have been with this group of girls for 3 years and we meet every Tuesday. We are all in our mid-twenties to mid-thirties and study the Bible and various books. We also spend a lot of our time talking about what God is doing in our lives and how we can encourage one another. We would LOVE the opportunity to Skype with you and talk about 7.

Yes please. My oldest daughter (15) wants this for her small group and thinks they need it worse than my group. :)
We'll SHARE!

I've been praying for God to open me up. This would be a stretch for me but here it goes...

Oh please "deal" me in!!! I know besides my four closest pals I can find and convince 5 more of my crazy ladies to join me! Changed my perspective and I wanna watch 7 change theirs!

Oh I SO want to do this! I started a new small group study at our church last year because your first book "A Modern Girl's Guide to Bible Study" inspired me so much I wanted to share it. Now, I am obsessed! I have had 7 (a signed copy I purchased at a conference where you spoke) for almost a year now, but haven't cracked it open. I'd make my small group do it with me this way!! :) muahahahhaha!!!!

I see two ways this study could go for me. 1. With my best friends. I could see the five of us sitting around being broken and laughing ... in the same moment. Yep. They're real friends like. 2. I'm also in a small group through our church that, although these people don't know it yet, would love this. It would spark lots of great discussions and God-only-knows what kind of additional conversations.

This would be a great study for my Bible Study group, we did "Interrupted" and Sarah was also reading 7 and sharing info from that. I know I need to scale back on excess!

We are in charge of leading our small groups next study and think this would be awesome for our group of ten (5 couples)!!! We have been together as group for almost 10 years and have done various types studies on parenting, marriage, discipleship, finances and are ready for 7!!!!
Thanks so much!
Courtney and Brandon Frazier

Wow! We have a place, people, and a burning desire to move that needle a little closer to the kingdom! This kit would be a wonderful bonus to us as we study "7" in February.

Oh for the love of everything that is holy! Please pick me!!!!! I even have ten friends that wanna do it!!!!! See, I'm perfect!

I am planning on leading this study in 2013 - I would love to get it at a blessed price :) !

This sounds like a study that my group and I would love!!! I would love it if we were picked!

We would love this!! Our small group is finishing up the book & it has completely changed our lives!! Thank you so much for writing it!

We were going to start our group study of this on Wednesday and haven't purchased the leader's guide yet due to our tight budgets...how wonderful this would be! Blessings to you. Thanks for challenging us and for being so honest!

I loved Seven and have been relentless about us doing the Bible study version at my church. I wanted to be able to talk about it with members of my faith community (both as individuals and through the lens of Episcopalians) and have a group that keeps me accountable for trying to incorporate some of this into my life. I have good intentions of a mutiny but need my village to help me make them happen! I am thrilled to say that after much discussion (we're a quickly growing community still building programs and haven't done anything like this before so it took some convincing) the Seven Bible study is scheduled for Lent. So far there are four of us committed, and we haven't even started advertising yet. The announcement will be in our e-mail and printed bulletin this week. Having the opportunity to Skype with you would make this SO amazing!

I read Seven the moment it was released and have loved sharing it with everyone I can! Would love to have a group working together to simplify our lives and rising up against the excess! My MOPS group would be so excited to do your new study!

Enter me;) I never win anything, but I do know how to find a good bargain so I am hoping since this is a bargain giveaway maybe it's my opportunity to win? Maybe? However, you might regret this offer if you win and have to skype with me and my friends who are all eight shades of crazy...but it'll be memorable;)

Loved Seven. Know my women's small group would be up for this! Pick me :)

Our ladies' group dove into the book last year individually, some of us reluctantly (ME!), and were blown away by what God showed us about decreasing us so that He can increase. It was beautiful and now we talk about the things we've changed and our new perspective on so many things! We are ready for a new small group study and very eager to convince our friends to "drink the kool-aid" with us! We definitely NEED this study. PS - Jen Sheridan is right; we are THAT awesome! :)

Yes ma'am, we could put this to very good use. Our pantry ladies (I'm the director of our food bank, distributing about 25 food boxes per week) meet regularly for coffee and we've talked about our abundance in light of our clients lack, and are looking for tangible ways to reduce. I have read "7" and think it would be a perfect study for us! There are a few men who work with us and they'd have to be included to make it to 10 - doable for sure. If not, our women's ministry team could hop on board too - they'll probably want to anyway. : )

A group of ladies from our church heard you speak at Camp Webster a couple years ago. (Salina, KS). We have read your book and have been talking about your bible study. We would love to do this study.

So excited!! Would love to win this! Thanks!

So I don't think that I am as excited as everyone else here... but my"Girls" and I loved Interrupted. We bought up as many copies as we could and gave them out to whomever would listen to us for even a minute. We laughed, we cried and we were challenged. I am scared of what you will ask us to do next but...the Lord never leaves us where we are "MOVE ON ALREADY!" he seems to so gently say to me. We will be ready but scared to do the study.

Why do I want it? How long do you have??? I am in a fellowship of believers that is sick and tired of playing church. It is time to want more of Him and less of this world. We are ready for such a time as this! We are three gallons of crazy in a two gallon bucket, but we love Jesus and we are nuts about you!! Pick us!!!!!

Jen, we are already BFF's so I should automatically qualify!! I belong to a church that is a new small, yet growing fast group of real people that LOVE Jesus. In this church people are rising up and serving, really becoming the hands and feet of Jesus. Some are going to third world countries to end human trafficking, some are adopting, and some plan to reach their neighbor right where they are. Leadership has read barefoot church and it has changed the way we do church. All of us ladies read and follow your books, blogs and talk about you as if you grew up with us. We would love this study!! Of course you already knew all this since we are besties!

Yes. Loved 7! I would do this study with my own The Council. This includes my prayer partner friend, my adoptive mom friends and a couple other daring people i know. Thx Jen, njoy

Pick me! My husband and I want to do this study so we can not only change our lives, but set an example for our kids starting at a young age. We would include our small group members in the study, several of which who are already interested.

My husband and I used to be in full time ministry. Until September. To make a long story short, we moved back to his hometown in Indiana to figure out what God wanted for us. I met a friend of his from high school youth group back in the day, and she and I discovered that we had been reading the same books (7, Interrupted, Irresistible Revolution) and had the same passions (Human trafficking, materialism/consumerism, etc) and we were tired of church as we had known it all of our lives. We needed something different and it's all we can talk about when we get together. We were so pumped when we found out you were doing a 7 study. We have several friends that are on board with us to start the study. I did my own version of scaling back material possessions when we moved out of our 3 bedroom apartment and filled more than 2 dumpsters full of crap we'd been carrying from home to home for over 10 years. My buddy Jennifer is ready to do the same. We're your gals!!! Plus, I'm jobless and homeless and can't afford to buy the study if I don't win it! Pick us!

My women's small group has been waiting for Seven to become a study. We are all so excited to get started on it. We have done a few other studies you have written such as Tuned In and loved them. All of the women in our group have tight budgets so this would be such a blessing to us. Thank you.

I loved 7! I immediately reorganized and donated 1/2 of the stuff in my attic after reading it. The husband was certain I had gone crazy. We have been doing some super budget planning this year and I would love to have some girlfriends join the crazy. I am aching for a radical change!
I would love some practical advice for taking this futher and I know a group study would be a perfect way. Less is my word for 2013! Less everything, more Jesus!

Oh my! I need this... I have been putting this off out of fear and strongholds. The weight of stuff and unnecessary commitments has been so heavy on me this year. I am struggling to hold my head above water most of the time. There are days I want to sweep everything off the counters and desks right into the trash bin and just start over. This study would hopefully change some things for me. Praying for the chance to win:)

I would love to do this!! I've been wanting to read this book for a long time and know friends who are interested too!:)

I would love to do this with some mamas from my MOPS group! A lot of us have already read the book and can't stop talking about it. This is exciting!!!

Would love to get together my group of friends to do the 7 Study!

crossing my fingers! except, not literally crossing my fingers because somehow that's seem unbiblical or something. =) hoping for the best!

I'm part of a kind of unorthodox group. We all attended highschool youth group together. We're split between Tennessee and California. We all have kids (varying amounts). We are passionate about changing (to various degrees). Some of us have finished 7 and some of us are still reading. Some of us are doing our own 7, some of us our still planning ours. All of us have been impacted. Thank you.

We discuss, encourage, quote, and pray for each other primarily through facebook. Okay, maybe not PRAY, but we let our needs be known that way.

I'm not even sure how our group will work watching all the videos. We'll prob have to have a set in one location and the others buy another set or download. Can Skype to video conferences? Hahaha. No matter what, the set would be put to GREAT use. Your book already has. Thanks for the chance!

For serious?!?!?! This is awesome! I would LOVE to win! It is already on my schedule to do the 7 Bible study with a group of friends this spring! [The only reason it is planned for spring and not right now is because my husband (children's pastor at our church) and I are co-teaching a second round of the family class RedCard (http://www.redcardkids.com/) at our church starting this Sunday and then my husband, oldest child (age 9), and I are going to Costa Rica in March with Visiting Orphans. Didn't want to over commit and be overwhelmed leading the 7 study along with all that other good stuff, so will do the study when it can be my main focus.] I read the book this past summer and it rocked my world. Loooooooove it! I have told so many people about the book and already have a group of friends ready to jump into the Bible study with me when it starts. Please, please, please draw my name!!! %u263A

All these sweet posts are killing me and making me feel guilty about entering....but only a little, I still want to win:)

I would love this for the women in my couples' small group. Several have read the book and we've all been talking about how to live fully as God intended. I think this would be a great kickoff!

We would only LOVE THIS!!! Thank you!!

Our Bible study group had already decided to do this study in January since the women read the book last summer. We're forcing, I mean, partnering with our husbands to join us for the study. :)

Oh my goodness...this is a dream! Our family is focusing on giving more and serving others in 2013. My teenage son just used his very first money from babysitting to buy a goat for a freed slave in Sudan.(goatsfortheoldgoat,com) I have been scared to read your book to be real honest, but God is making it perfectly clear to me through several instances this past week alone that THIS is where my heart and mind need to be this year. Please draw my name....please please. :) I have a list of friends that would LOVE to do the study as well. We live in suburbia city and so need to be reminded of truth and what's important...it has gotten lost. Thanks for what YOU are doing to share God's truth.

I started reading the book in June and went through several sections and did the experiment. Completely life changing. I now have a group of ladies that we have or are getting the book to read and hold each accountable. I would love to do this Bible Study with them and see how it will change our perspective on excess we live with based on Biblical principles

I'm halfway through 7 and already thinking what a great Bible Study it would make. Would love to share it with my Vintage Church ladies!

Awesome! I already have a group ready to do this with me! I just haven't taken time to purchase the leader kit yet, so if I win it, even better! This same group of women did "Interrupted" this fall and are so excited to do another one of your studies. Plus, you are coming to Henderson, NE in May and all these ladies will get to see you live and in person if they so choose! :) I'm beyond excited! Thanks so much for all you do!

I'm in! I would choose friends and family to join with me. I have read the book and can't wait for the study!

I was literally JUST on Amazon trying to come up with new study material for our small group this year. We would LOVE this study. Please pick us:)))))))))))

So excited to see this study is out! Loved the book and definitely think it would be a challenging and fun bible study!

Dear Jen,

I am scared to death to do this ... but I'd like to try it. I am a wife of 30 years, 10 children, and a NEW youth group leader at our church. Two are two of my girls, two are boys whom, I feel only come because they have to, and few other girls, including a new one. I would love to win this to do with our youth, and my family. I have no idea what I am doing being a new youth pastor. I just know I love our young people ... though I feel too old! anyhow .. I know I am not too old, but am sure just jumping in. Anyhow, I would like to win this to be able to do something innovative and creative, and hopefully life changing with our group.
Thanks,
Donna
ps. I don't even know if this is the right place to enter.

I would love to do this study with several other people in our church who are passionately working through rethinking how we do life and to live more gospel centred lives!

I need this because I'm freaking out about life right now (and you are partially to blame, thank you Interrupted and 7). I feel God tugging (no yanking) on my heart and I'm as scared as I am excited to let go and follow Him. This spring is a huge transition point in my life when we have big decisions to make for our family. I just told my husband, I have no idea where God is leading, but we need to pray together, listen, and be obedient, even if it means getting out of our comfort zones. This study would be the perfect way to strip down the excess and focus on Him. And I'm sure I have 9 crazy people who would do this along side me. :)

While I would've liked to leave this comment at 7 on the 7th, alas, this I the time I am on the computer. I got on to submit my "entry" but now, after being fully entertained by some of these 200 comments, I am pretty sure that our group of 7 (for real) women from near Seattle who meet on Monday nights at 7 (for real) with our second year of meeting together starting tonight...yep, the 7th...cannot "beat" the entries by, for instance, missionaries who were robbed or someone starting a stripper ministry. :) Truthfully, we were leaning toward starting Tune In next week instead of 7, unless God has other plans for us. We shall see...

Boy, we are all gluttons for punishment. But here I am submitting my name too. :) My flesh is appreciating my bad record for winning things, but my spirit is hoping for some good luck.

I am starting a group TONIGHT with this book and we are so excited to go through this book. Would love the opportunity to win such a great deal!

This seems like an absolute answer to prayer...what a blessing this will be to the lives of so many. I hope you pick me.

I don't know if the hubs would be cool w/ me spending $100 but I never win this kinda stuff, so what the heck! put my name in the hat!

I would love to win! Kind of. I mean, I want to change, but I also really like my stuff. Oh, crap. I'm going to win, aren't I?

I lead a Christian weight loss support group, We provide love and support to each other as we over come our excesses in food. We are a group of about 7 but hope to add a few more with the New Year. We are currently set to end our current study in about 2 weeks and this looks like something that would be interesting, compelling and would include food consumption struggles but also bring in new areas of discussion.

I read the book and would love to do the study with my mom's group friends!

Totally interested. I lead a small ladies group at a Christian University. I hope I win it.

I would love the chance to do the 7 experiment with friends. I have felt suffocated with clothes, crafts and books. and I have had a time trying to downscale. its been sort of paralyzing. 5 kids makes it hard to part with things as I'm always thinking "we'll used that sometime" it would so bless me to have others to try to make the changes with and to help me with my perspective. some ladies at church introduced me to your blog. I'd open it for them or with some mommy friends that are at different churches/between churches. thanks for the bundled offer!

I tried to post earlier, but it didn't go through. I have never led a small group but I would do it for this book. I read it last summer and loved it. I am the children's choir director at my church and would love to share this study with the parents. Please pick me!

I've heard so many high commendations from sisters I greatly respect about the 7 project! I have been wanting to dive into it but can't afford the resources as a single mom of 4. I know some accountability sisters and friends of limited means, in my church family and community, who would love to go reckless to abandon excess for Christ!

PICK ME PICK ME PICK ME - said with GREAT enthusiasm - and a bit of "scared to death" of what it might require ;)

You are such an inspiration to me. I cannot wait to do the 7 Experiment with my group of ladies at DCC! Pick me! Pick me!

Pick me! Pick me! As if the study wouldn't be awesome enough, but we get you on skype too!!!!!

I so want this study! My friends and I cannot stop talking about the book! We would benefit from more of a guided discussion and challenge!

Jen, I just went to Wal-Mart (I know, you can pray for my soul later) for toilet paper and a few other things. At the checkout line, my total was $85 (seriously?!?). When I got home and went to the bathroom, guess what I didn't have? Toilet paper! After all that, I forgot the most important thing. Obviously, I need this study on simplifying! But seriously, the young women at my church are seeking His kingdom come and love what you have to say on making this happen. Thanks for going where everyone else was too scared to go! Please pick us!

Me please! When I read it, I thought, I would like to do this but I need someone to do it with me. I'm in a bible study at my church and I think we would all grow so much.

My name is all over one of those study kits! Could you include some Salt Lick when you mail it? ;-) I absolutely LOVE this book and wholeheartedly agree that God wants use to live with less so we can help more. My husband and I are about to start out second "attempt" at 7. This should be good!

I want to join this study because I think it could radically change my heart. I will drag, I mean invite the ladies from my Bible study group plus a couple of other chicas that I wish were in my group.

You nailed it Jen! I am on day 7 of my new daily devotion for year! Eaten lots of unusual things not usually on my radar until this time of year. Heck, I even deep cleaned the den bookshelves to rid them of excess books and donated them...sounds like I'm on it!!! Not so fast before you admire me;) This is a futile exercise I am really good at...fizzles about February...just sayin' So in need of Seven...pick me...pick me...pick me...

Finished reading 7 in the fall, and looking for ways to get others to experiment with me, very excited about this study.

I would live this for a ladies Bible Study I'm starting next month out if my home.

Yes, yes, yes! I read the book, then convinced my book club to read the book, then we did a benefit yard sale and this would be just what I need to convince my morning Bible study group to do it! They are a wonderful group of older women and I would love to get their take on the project.

My community group girls or friends from the preschool mom group at church.

Oh pick me!! We are starting this in February!!

Shut the front door!!! I literally JUST finished typing an email to the associate pastor at my church (whom I convinced to let me lead the 7 study before I even knew there was an all-new study guide!) in which I included a glittery announcement to be distributed in the church bulletin and an offer to stand up in front of the whole church in an attempt to convince every last one of them that they NEED this 7 experiment in their lives! Oh, and God, too! (So that is how I'm getting my 10, hopefully plus people) In case this is not a random drawing, I should also mention that I am a graduate of THE University of TX who lived in Austin for seven (7, yes I said 7) years in SUNSET VALLEY, who up and moved to Aggieland to follow my hub's job and raise my two adorable -only sometimes- little boys! Send some Austin my way with the 7 Bible study set, and I will put it to excellent use, I promise!

Me, me, me!!! I read 7, & while it scared the poopy out of me on one level, & convicted me on a whole other level, I still LOVED it!! We did your Interrupted book last summer as a book club style study (the leader wrote questions as she read) and everyone LOVED it! And...I am the Bible study coordinator, and am actively looking for our next study. AND, I adore Downton Abbey...that's gotta get me a bonus point, right?? ;). Hey...worth a shot!
Karen

Our group is ready! thanks for putting the study together...it will make such a great experience to do it together.

I want to skype with you!! :) I loved 7 and would love to continue that journey! It has been a great year of getting rid of stuff and making room for Jesus! We are also expecting our first foster child any day now! I loved the book and would love a further study! Pick me!! :)

Women's bible study desperately looking for something life changing and full of grace!! I have no idea what 7 is but I love what I've read in the comments. Count us in!!!

this would be amazing! i'd love the chance to do this!

I am totally in for tricking, I mean encouraging, women of our church to embark on this journey. My husband and I read the book and did the whole 7 months! We are crazy!

I could totally use this study! Our small group would love to do this study together.

I've read it and got a group of ladies and we are sooooo ready to do this!!! To read it, study it and actually talk to you in the process......trifecta!!!

I love your book! I want to learn how to incorporate some of the ideas and partnerships you came up with here in Escondido, CA. My sister is homeless and I would love to offer her a productive way to get out of that vicious cycle and begin to get her the help she needs. We have almost on acre of land that I would love to develop into produce growing property and help to employ our recovery ministry people! Thank you for your book, the whole journey has been inspiring!

I would love to do this study in my home with the other moms who gather here Friday mornings!

I think you should pick us Jen.... (Central Church of Christ) because several of us read your book and made up a study to go along with it. So I could actually, possibly do it correctly this time. I'm sure I could get 10 people to come along as well as some that made the mistake (hehe) of going on a 7 month journey with them. ((Seriously, an amazing adventure) I am sure 9 weeks will have us all on a new adventure.... :) Little do they know how the Holy Spirit takes over and what God has in store for them.... :)

I would love this because over the summer a group of girls from church and I went through the book... It was God breathed-life changing! I felt kicked (in a good way) spiritually in every chapter we undertook. I felt like a crazy person, and then on top of the world and then like my whole world, everything I knew and grew up with was crashing to the ground because it didn't matter in comparison to what God REALLY wanted of me and my heart.
I will ask my closest girlfriends and their hubby's because... Lets face it, we ALL need this.
Thank you Jen for being God's hands and feet and writing this... God has spoken to many through you!!

Our small group would be SO jazzed to win this at half price! So excited to take the challenge:)

My inter-generational women's small group had already decided to do "7" this year ... didn't even know there was a small group version coming out. We're looking forward to "The Mutiny" ... well, some of us are, and the rest are interested in watching!

Pick me! Pick me! I would love to take a group of homeschool girls (and Mom's) through this! Thanks so much!

Yessssssssss. This would be awesome!!!!

I would love to have a small group of my friends go through this together!

I would love a chance for this, I am co-leading a small group for the first time and would love to do this study with the women of my church! We decided to do this study but would really love it at half price!

How wonderful! Would love to do this as a study.

My Bible Study, a group of young women from a Christian University that became friends our freshman year, and who ironically call ourselves Jersey Shore, have been so blessed by a couple of women on staff at our school who have mentored us and led us in Bible studies this past year. They introduced us to "7" saying that it was life-changing but loads of fun along the way, and we've all agreed to undertake the challenge and allow God to work in our lives as we become more focused on Him and His goodness. This would be an incredible opportunity for us to bless our mentors in return for all that they do for us and continue to grow in Him as a group before we graduate this spring!

I have a lovely group of women who would thoroughly enjoy this study!! Pick me random name picker, pick me!

I would love to win! Pick me!

I would do it with my college girlfriends. Next I would convince the women's min director at my church to do it for Tuesday morning Bstud :)

OMG!!!!!!! My friends and I at our MOPS group just had a panel that we called the 7 panel and we shared various things out of your book that has inspired/ changed us to think more about the BIG picture, My friend and I just offered this study to our group this past Friday!!! All we currently have is the book. We have many that have all ready showed us interest in attending the study : ) This would be an awesome opportunity for us. We want to SHINE ON and INSPIRE our little community!!!! We are lovers for your words. Thanks for being such an inspiration to so many women : )

Yes. Yes. Did 7 last year. We are now adopting so yahoo right? Am already planning to do the study with leaders at church and then haven them take it to their own circle of 8-10. It would be the most awesomely awesome to win.

Would love to do this with our small group at church!!

I would love it!

I am new to 7... Would love to do this study along with my fellow book club! So ready to get rid of some excess in many areas!!!

Would love to win!!

Yes, please!! Will be doing this with a group of girlfriends regardless.

Jen! You get me on so many topics, but mostly when you speak of FOOD! I can relate to almost every thought you so transparently convey in Seven! I do feel a longing to rid the excess and simplify my life, but it is so hard for me to follow through at times--they way you share your heart so openly through writing is inspirational and sobering! I'd love to have a skpye session with you at the end of this study!!

I would love to win this set of study materials and invite 9 fellow over-stuffed materialists to dive into it with me!

my friends and i LOVED 7. when i heard you had a study coming out, i was a tiny bit excited, but mostly nervous, because i realized that if i did the study i would actually have to do some of the scaling back and not just read (and laugh) about it and think it's a good (insane) idea in my head. (oops.) i would freak if you drew my name -- i would be nervous about doing it but equally excited to lead some girls through it. we're a quasi-new church plant in norman, ok, and i think this study would be a pretty cool/different/crazy way to gain some traction.

I would love to do this with our youth group! We just said yes to co-leading this year and we were just talking about how God is going to change us this year!
THANKS!
What a generous and fun give away.
Blessings,
Lynnea Hameloth

Pretty please! I haven't invited you to my friend's couch or anything weird lately and i promise next time you speak in town i won't interrupt your well earned meal to pray for you. sheesh. anyway...my crazy jen and i are starting this too, and we would loooove this kick start. what if i told you i was making her a special gift that was inspired by your interrupted book (i'll send pic after it's done) and that we both have already exchanged our gifts for birthday/Christmas...wanna know what they were??? scarves from the mission you mentioned in your book. Open arms! :) wait...am i the kiss up in class now? ah well. :) love love, crazy caroline :)

I'm growing up in a generation that is highly consumeristic, constantly plugged-in, and has the mentality of instant gratification is neccessary for a happy lifestyle, and I want to change that! My husband and I led a small group a year ago with fellow 20-year olds and we loved digging into God's Word together. We are wanting to lead another small group with other couples in their 20's and I think this would be an amazing study to do with them. Us young adults need to take a stand and change our generation around!

Oh, how wonderful. We're about to finish up a Beth Moore, and we're looking for one to begin next. This certainly seems like an excellent study to start at the beginning of a new year!

After reading 7 recently, I am so excited to share this with my friends and small group. What an amazing opportunity! Would love this amazing set! Thanks so much for the opportunity.

I've wanted to participate in this study since I first heard about it. In living under the motto that "home is where your stuff is," I'd like to practice a simpler life in the 7 areas referenced in your book with a small group of other women committed to the same. We have a great leader in @JoaniRoss and I know she'd do a great job faciliating us through this study and application. Thank you for your offer and consideration.

Oh my goodness YES! We've been impatiently waiting ever since hearing about this book becoming a study. Bring it on!

Sign me up. But only if the bird's nest prop is included.


Kidding about the last part. For real, sign me up.

I have been wanting to trick... I mean inspire.... My couples small group into doing this! I've read the book and am hoping that all 10 will join in!

Pick my friend, Sara cowherd! She has been planning to lead a group using your 7 beginning this month. She has a bunch of us lined up raring to go. I have already implemented a lot of the principles you lay out and I am looking forward to seeing how God works in the affluent women in our area. It will be powerful, I am sure. I think big things are about to happen in Manlius and Fayetteville NY.
Bless you for writing this book!!!

Oh my word... If you only knew how this is for me. My friends and I were already planning on doing a book study of it (I am almost finished reading it!). My husband is the senior pastor of a large church in Southern CA, and this book is shaping our discussions and plans for our city. You are coming to Rock Harbor (where he pastors for 7 years) and I will be there. Hope to meet you personally. - Justina Erre

Yes please! My friends and I are 7 CRAZY! Need to keep the craziness alive :)

We loved turning "Interrupted" into a small group study this summer! This would be awesome!

We are just a bunch of normal mommas that love to LOVE in awesome ways. Our MOPS group did a small panel review of Seven last Friday. Your words are truly inspiring.

I have a small group who met all through Twitter. We often thank God for 'stupid twitter' in our prayers =) We just threw one of our girls a surprise baby shower this past week, and everyone in attendance met via Twitter too. All this to say, we would LOVE to do a 7 study - it's right up our alley! 1) written by a Twitter friend, 2) a journey together, and 3) something to push us out of our comfy suburban zones. My husband and I just finished reading 7 last week, and still aren't sure where to start in making changes, so I'd let him sit in on the DVD study too =)

I would LOVE to have this opportunity! Army wife in South Korea here, surrounded by dozens of orphanages where they sleep on the floor and many are "tainted" as you explained in one blog post, just for being "too old." Imagine how we could bless them by getting rid of our excess! Plus, we promise to set up a Skype time when it's convenient for you, which really is possible even with the 15 hour time difference :-)

I would love to win this series! I have a group of friends who already met this past fall to talk about your book, but we are going to meet again this spring to talk about how we are changing our lives to glorify God. Thanks for writing this book because it totally made me change the way I'm living my life!:)

I would LOVE this!!!

I could definitely use this. Our ladies group would love this study.

Read the book last year and loved it! I would love to lead a group of ladies from our church through this study...my husband is the pastor of our church, and we are going into our 3rd year here...we have been slowly working to change the culture of our church from comfort & complacency to commitment to impacting God's kingdom here in our little city. Before we moved here, our church had been known as the "country club" church and "The Church of the Beautiful People." Slowly but surely we are becoming more known for our service and outreach...doing this study would be a great way to complement what God is stirring here!

Because I think I went from being a true Babylonian to being disgusted with my possessions. Ladies small group!!!

I'm starting a bible study for the ladies in my church. And was wanting to start it with a great hit that all the girls will want to come. I'm excited for this bible study!!

Our neighborhood Bible study will begin our 7th year of weekly meeting in 2013. Sarcasm is our love language and we range in age from mid fifties to early seventies. We may not have time for too many more studies! Please pick us because some of us really need to clean out our closets and our lives. We would be setting a good example for our children and grandchildren who would all come to know and love you and read your books. Besides, I don't know how many more Beth Moore studies we can take!

My little group of girls are convinced you would be our best friend if you ever got the chance to hang out with us. You would love us! Please, please, please, pick me!

Yes! We have a bunch of women ready to start our own homegrown version of 7 on Feb 1st. Perfect timing - pick us! :)

I've wanted to do this study since the moment I saw it in the Lifeway ad! The book was awesome. I have my girls on standby if I win!

So excited! We have 19 women starting your study next week which means TONS more who will be ready to lead the study in 9 weeks from now! We'd LOVE to win, thanks!

I would love to do the study with my Sunday School class. We live in an affluent suburb of Atlanta and it's truly a daily struggle to remind myself that less is not just ok but good!

We live in singapore and its a late society. our kids go to bed at 7; we have little ones. so going to a bible study is impossible cause they all start so late. i would invite some other families with young kids who miss out on fellowship because of bedtimes.

I do bible study with a group of ladies from church each week. Some of us heard you speak at dotMom this year. We love you!!!! We are going to dinner this weekend and then to LifeWay to choose a new study to start the year. I would love for us to do this one and think it would be really neat to have signed books from you and to get to Skype with you. I think everyone is more willing to try to things in January. I hope you choose me! : )

How will you be able to pick 3? I've been trying to get to the bottom of this list of comments and they are all left today? Well. I'd like my group of quilters to be considered. Right, quilters. We meet at my church every Monday night and frankly I am tired of our worldly conversations. I picked up your book and it hit a chord. Then I found out my husband had transferred it from my kindle to his and it has his attention like nothing has in a long time. We quilters need this.

I would love to win this! I am hoping this study begins a revolution in our church and community!!!!!

Yep. My summer Bible study girls and I need this. Not that they know they've given me permission to pick out our study, but they'll get over it. He he. :)

I am planning to do this with a group of amazing college girls who are going to CHANGE THE WORLD...

Loved this book, can't wait for the study. Sign me UP! :)

reason 1: new neighborhood, new neighbors, new connections to be made!
reason 2: dear, beloved, best friends moved back to s. austin. old connections to be revived!
reason 3: new connections should meet old connections and make other connections.
reason 4: my personal desire and need to simplify has brought me greater joy. i long still for less, an even simpler life and more leftover of me and our excess to give away for the glory of God!
(the kids will get 7 foods until i scrape together the money to do this.)

Would LOVE to do this study with my beautiful book club friends! Just when I didn't think they could get any more amazing...BOOM... we read your book. These amazing women of God have such a heart and I am so blessed to have them in my life! Would LOVE to see what could happen if we threw in a book study too! (And quite frankly... I think we all consider you our friend whether you know us or not... So the skyping would be the cherry on top!). :)

I would like to do this study, because I think we all need a simpler life. It would probably help me give up worrying about what others think.. I would do it with friends that I do Bible Study with each week.

DOWNTON ABBEY, DOWNTON ABBEY, DOWNTON ABBEY!

I hope this caught your attention. :)
I haven't even seen the blasted show, but I HAVE seen people stirring in Raleigh, NC after reading 7. You are coming to our church in May, so you can just deliver the kit when you come. Right?

Just last night, our small group decided we would do this study next. What a coincidence! We are a small group on an air force base in Japan... Choose us, choose us!

Me and my tribe of elementary school girlfriends have been going through your book, trying to trim down the excess in OUR lives. Would love to do the Bible study!! Thanks :)

This would be perfect for our group. We are a church plant and just finished our last study in December. We are ready to start a new one. Loved the book and I'm already doing adaptations of 7 myself. Sweet!

Ready for a change and would prefer the support of a group.

Why? because I have too much stuff and need a change. Who? My friends, who also have too much stuff. To win would be amazing! Fingers crossed!!!

I have done a "version" of 7 and would LOVE to trick some friends into doing it with me ;)

I live in Haiti and already have a group of "missionary girl" friends lined up to do it with me! We've been planning to do it since well before Christmas. Believe it or not, we (well, I) get caught in the trap of excess too - it usually manifests itself as, "This is mine, it is precious, I can't get it in Haiti, and no, I won't share it with you." If I don't say it, at least I think it!

So, yes, we could use some 7 in our lives...

This is exactly what our group needs !

I have always been a minimalist (in the American sense), now I need to know what it means to live like one, truly live. Our small group will grow phenomenally!

I'm not sure my husband will appreciate me doing this as a study, since reading the book completely turned everything upside down!!! But hey!! We are ready for deeper changes! (Did I just say that?? ;) so bring it on Jen!!

Would love to do it.....I think everyone should be required to study this!

Women aren't the only ones who need to scale back. our couples group could use this study!

College girls in our ministry (I definitely dragged them to KC and crashed another church's party so they could hear you speak), my friends, ladies from my church. This summer. I'm on it!

The Spirit is willing.......But the flesh.......it is in total mutiny! Send it to me and let the battle begin.

This would be great for our group. We would have to buy more books for so many who would want to join in. Good luck to everyone!

I already have a group that had planned to meet to discuss the book! An actual binle study would be awesome!

This would be great for my small group!

Our small group would love this... it would be great if we could then get more of our church's small groups to follow suit. Imagine all the changes in a church community!

What an amazing offer! Thank you!!! I know our group would just love this study, it's something I think everyone can always work on! :)

Me pls ;)

For our neighborhood bible study group. There are 15 of us and would love to be challenged. We have been meeting for two years now! ;)

I would LOVE to have it! There's a group of us that have been struggling with this exact thing, and we've been praying and searching for a study to go through together.

Would LOVE to walk through 7 with my ladies small group!

I would LOVE the chance to do this with my mom's group or small group!!!!!

How fun to give us all this giddy excited suspenseful wondering if we'll a pick of the party :) Count me and the other ministry wives at ours and other churches in for the study..perfect challenge and unity building experiment that will no doubt bring us in together and push us out beyond ourselves.. thanks for the chance to get it for less :)

I started month 1 on Sunday. The suger withdrawals are tough. I don't have any friends that would want to do this with, so I'm not in need of the study. I just wanted to commend you and your man for doing it together. Thank you for always putting the hard stuff out there. I love the challenge.

I read 7 over my Christmas break and ever since I've been trying to con, I mean, encourage my friends to do 7 with me. :) Seriously though, I do have several friends that have already read the book and/or purchased it and waiting to get started. Then we learned the study was coming out and that may intice more of my friends to particpate; 9 weeks versus the 7 months I originally proposed to them! Plus watching you on video will have to be more entertaining than anything I could come up with. I feel slightly confident that we are ready to be convicted (well for some of us all over again), challenged, and renewed! Plus my husband will be super happy if he gets to hear me talk nonstop about 7 and you for another 9 weeks. ha Oh and if it helps my chances, I am currently in the process of adopting from China (as is another girl who will be in the study) and we feel like we have two more on the edge. This could perhaps be what's needed to seal the deal for them. I should probably be ashamed for using adoption to win a study, but sometimes you've got to do what you've go to do. :)

We live in an area where this is much excess. This would be awesome for my bible study.

Hi....what a God moment...my sister called as i am looking for a new bible study for women at my church and she walks into lifeway and lays eyes upon this study !!! I immediately go to your website and am so blessed already !!! your name came across my heart earlier , so i really think
God is calling me to this study. WOW, love it when HE SHOWS UP so clearly !

My husband is a senior pastor at a church and we are under tremendous stress. my house and soul are a cluttered mess and i so want to make our lives more serene so he can do what God has called him to do !!!

i will ask some of the staff to join my small group ...... I cannot be a hoarding pastors wife !!!

Our Life Group (couples) at church is starting this study next Sunday! Would love to have this incredible deal!

This would be a fantastic study for some friends and I to do this summer. I'm always failing during the summer when my regular bible study is on break.

I was asked to co-lead a women's small group a bit over a year ago-- and felt unequipped and in no way qualified-- but co-leading just means showing up every week and keeping everyone focused, right?

A year later: I am now a leader (yikes)-- but it has been an amazing journey seeing how God has provided and how God is working in the lives of the young women in the group!

Several of us know and love your genius-- and have already read and been changed by '7,'-- but we'd love to tackle this as a group! Bless you for being willing to share this with others! We're excited to see where 2013 will take us.

Would love love love to do this!

When you say "randomly" do you mean "randomly"? I'm going to assume so and therefore not try to convince you to pick me. If I am randomly picked I will take it as sign that I should in fact form such a group as I've been thinking about doing. My husband is on staff at the Summit Church and I'd love to do this with a group of other staff wives. Thanks!

I'd like to do this with my women's board at church. We are targeting some of this at a big women's gathering on March 1st and hope to spur our members to reach out more in the community.

I have been praying about what to be doing for a bible study right now and nothing seems to be panning out. Was considering just leading one, a beth Moore or something... But maybe this is what The Lord has for me. Ive read seven, and It sounds exactly like what I don't want to be doing right now, so it's probably in his plan. If I win I will take it as a sign I guess.

I am way to comfortable and way too used to my excess. I need to shake things up and I have just the group of girlfriends that spur me on to Christ. We also laugh our booties off on a regular basis...never a bad thing.

My life has been forever changed in the last year and a half, since hearing you, Jen, at a conference. We've started our adoption process! I've read 7, and the study would be great for others in our church as well. :)

I'd love to do this with girlfriends. I actually got a copy of 7 from Verge, but am embarrassed to admit that I still haven't read it yet. (Does that automatically disqualify me!?)...

I'm so glad that someone is shaking things up like you!

I think I'm brave enough to do it!

This would be PERFECT for our women's small group. Thanks so much!

Oh how awesome is this?! I just finished your book and woweee...the stress chapter?! LOVE! Going to buy "seven sacred pauses" next! Anyway, I attend a small group of about 6 women, we gather together once a week to dig in the Word, pray, and eat (duh!!:))! A fellow sister in Christ and I have both read the book and are thrilled that you . It would be so awesome to read this book and work through the study guides/videos together.Our group has been together for about 4 years. We are a close nit group who cheerlead one another, push one another towards holiness, dig deep into the Word, pray, and serve together.

Hmmm...my mind is going crazy...you know what also could also be awesome?! My husband and I teach a young adults Sunday School class...this could also be awesome for our SS class....
Or both?! THAT would be awesome?! :)

Happy picking 3 winners!

I would love to do the study with my tribe!! Thank you so much for all you do!

We just started a little smallgroup and I think this would be amazing! Maybe you want to choose us! :) I vote YES! Vote for Sommer!

I think this is exactly what i have been asking God for as I have felt in conflict a great deal lately with the excess of the world. I wanted God to show me how to break free and in a weird twist i was only recently introduced to your work. I think this is an opportunity i have been praying for and i know my friends will accept the challenge with me as we walk in faith
Blessings,
Tracey from Canada

I can't believe how awesome God is! Saw you at RightNow and have read several of your books, follow your blog/twitter (even mentioned you on instagram when I took a picture of your cover to say I was starting to read "7"). I knew I had that you were doing the study to the book (maybe you mentioned it at the breakout at Right Now?) but coudn't find it (after spending the last hour searching again...and then I stopped to pray on the best way to contact you and your blog pops up with this news!! Want to book you to speak at our church (hate titles but - I am on staff in Women's Ministries) and am SOOOOO excited to see this as a study. If I "win" I promise to gather a small group to pilot the study before I offer it the women of our church. There is a small group of young moms (coming from a former "MOMS" (like MOPS) table I was a mentor for last year) that have continued to meet for prayer, study and accountability. After talking about "7" recently - two are currently doing "Chapter one" (you should see the list of their foods!!) and "loving" it (realizing how hard it is!). The biggest "bonus" for me would be having the oppotunity to have the girls "see" you personally on the skype date. :) I want to win for them!
Regardless of "winning" or not - I will be getting this study and leading a group through it...and hopefully the 200 women that usually attend our Tuesday studies will join in too! Praying for the masses to catch the vision of "7" like we are about to at Chase Oaks Church in Plano, TX! I'm committed to share the ways of Jesus (through "Jen Hatmaker") with them! just sayin.

I would love to do this new Bible study. I just became aware of your book "7" and blog last week upon a recommendation from my mother-in-law. We've had some big changes in our lives the past 6 months...giving up an (expensive car) and an (expensive) purse as God moved our hearts to adoption. We are in the process of adopting a son from Ethiopia. Looking forward to reading and learning from 7!

An ex missionary to Haiti and Senegal living stateside by God's design, not mine...would love to do the study with a pack of suburban moms here ...it fits into the plan of expanding worldviews. Thanks!

I read 7 over the Christmas break and have been praying about using it for my next ladies community group study. I would love to throw my hat in the ring for this great offer. Thanks for your honesty in the book. It's always a relief to me when someone is willing to be real!

I read 7 in the fall after returning from Kenya on a mission trip. Which ROCKED MY WORLD!!!! You have been able to put into words all that is on my heart. I have a super special group of women who would love to spread the vision of 7.

Man! I don't think I can compete with all these people and their great reasons to get your study! You book has impacted so many! Myself included! Really, I just finished 7 last week and can't stop thinking about it. I lead a Bible study with some sweet ladies, and we are at all different stages. I really think this could fire our little group up! From the classroom to the pavement! Let's get living the Word of God!

Just read 7. Holy Spirit working. Praying. Would love a chance to lead (join) others in a journey through the 7 study.

Well, I never win these 'drawings' but Ill give it a shot :) Im the Women's Director at my church and though bombarded with requests, to be honest I have been a bit skeptical about leading our women in a study based off Seven because although I loved it, (loved Interrupted even more!!) I am wary of the 'bandwagon' way women can try to copy someone else's genuine response to the Holy Spirit's work in their life, thinking they can just do what someone else was led to and skip the whole 'hearing from the Lord themselves' step. Ya know? :) But I love the concepts and would love to take a look and see how a small group study through your book could encourage each individual woman to discover where they are personally held captive and unwilling to let God break in a change them :) Enjoying the way you are allowing God to use you and your talents :)

If I win, then I will have to take action and actually lead people to do God's work....Bring it on!

How amazing!! My mom and sister led some of their students (high school), and we would LOVE to do a study on it!

Honestly, I am probably doing this regardless ... but I'd still love to have some free!

What a blessing it would be to win this drawing! I so appreciate your Godly inspiration and encouragement to us all!

I would LOVE this..... I would ask my 'life group' from church to join me in this adventure!

I just picked up this book from the sale section at Mardel, just hoping for a good read and something to inspire change in my new year. I'm about halfway through the book and I am becoming increasingly changed and inspired to live simply. I've already donated about half of my closet and I'm working on the rest of my room and junk.
But the reason why I so badly would love this study book set is because I am leading a college and career group at my church. Its a brand new church with less than 200 members (not than numbers matter at all), but our funding is small. Our group is pretty brand new too. However, I can't even begin to describe how much we've already been able to do for God's glory. Our church is already changing because of us. I think this study would be just another great way to inspire not only ourselves but our church.
This book would be so great for our church for numerous reasons. The first one being that our church is made up of relatively weathy, middle aged adults. But since our church is so new, we don't have an actual building. So our church is a rental space between a bingo hall and 8-liner hall, with a bar a couple spaces down. We also have government housing right behind us. Pardon the language, but one of deacons says we're "charging hell with a water pistol." Funny, but completely true. I think this book would be exactly what our church needs to learn to live simply and give to those around us and learn to have giving hearts.
Another reason is the people in my college and career group. I have been so inspired by how willing to serve and willing to obey God they are. But this would be a great series for them to learn to live differently.
And the last reason I can come up with for now is that this book is absolutely incredible. So well written and so life changing. I just want to be able to share that with my group.
I know that an essay wasn't asked for and doesn't increase my chances of winning, but I hope it at least gets someone's attention. This would be an incredible opporunity for us. Thank you.

I like cheese.

I would love to have this set to share with our group. We are starting this study in Feb.

Pick us! I just started month one... I am journaling along with only eating my seven foods and this is so hard but so good! This is a small group of us committed to do this study together! We would love to meet you over Skype!

Sweet nectar! You are rad. I think the world of you. We must have been cut from the same cloth.
I love:
Saved By the Bell
Hate:
The Cats and Dogs Movie my parents gave our kids.
I say the phrase: " I have a college degree" when the simplest tasks become waaayyyy to difficult.
I will read every word you ever write. Don't stop. In my eyes you have.... synergy! :)
My husband and I just launched a church Dec. 2.. small groups start Feb. 3.. We are in!

Pick me! Pick me!
I want to share the study with my girls group!!!

I love this! I have been asked to lead an adult group on "Seven" & while I feel so passionate about experiencing a journey with others about how to make a shift in our consumer world, I had to say no last season. With work & my family I just don't have time to plan & having this could make it happen later this year for our church. Chosen or not, thank you for encouraging me and so many others in our journey...

This sounds great!

Oh I absolutely love this!!! Please please please pick our group. I belong to such an amazing group of women and we can so benefit from this study!!!

Wow! We just decided to do the 7 book in our small group and now I just found out that there is a study to go with it! Perfect. We NEED this:) Thank You, Thank You.

Me, Me, Me!!! I am currently reading Seven...I know, I'm a couple years behind!! But I was just telling my friend the other day that I really think we are the missing pieces of your life : ) We could laugh our heads off...and bawl our eyes out!!
I would love this study...and I would start with my current small group- 5 girls...and then recruit 4 more (including my BFF that could someday be your BFF too!) : )

Im the BFF that could be your BFF with Morgan Spivey!! PIck us, good ol Alabama girls running hard after radical obedience to the Lord!

Oh, I would love to do this. I have been slowly scaling back, and thinking how I want to do that more and more. We've had discussions already in my small group about excess and trimming back Christmas (after linking to your Easter post another participant is so on board with the idea!). I have a fantastic small group of women all ages... young mothers and grandmothers and everything in between. Small groups are fairly new at my church and we've only done the materials that the church has provided, but at my last congregation we did small groups ALL THE TIME. I miss that I am SURE my small group would up for meeting around this topic. And at half price, I would happily gift them the series. It might get us to do it more regularly.

Oh, my! I just finished your book yesterday, and I feel like a woman possessed. It was so, so good. Of course, I am missing your voice now that the book is done, so I decided to check out your blog. And then I see this! I swear, God is sending me the biggest message right now. I need to do this, one way or the other. I just know my small group ladies would join me on the 7 journey. : )

This might rival the PowerBall but I'll give it a try. I would love to do this study with my Sunday School class, we're a group of parents to younger children and you know how deprived little kids are these days. So a study on scaling back is just what God ordered, I loved the book and I can't wait to do the study!

Oh wow, that's a lot of comments. I've gotta talk to my co-leader, but I would love to do this with our women's group. Especially since we're done with our last book at the end of January.

I talk about you like you're my best friend around here. LOVED your book!! We are SO messed up! Dear hubby is a doctor, we live in the hood with our SEVEN kids, and STILL we struggle with excess! So we would love to do this study with our whole fam and a few of our closest buddies from church!

Would love to participate! The girls from my Sunday school class begin meeting together soon. My husband and I began food on January 2nd!!

Yay! We would love to do this! I read 7 this year and then went around my house purging and giving away piles of stuff. My husband thought I was crazy. Then I encouraged, ok guilted, a bunch of friends to read it... And they started down-sizing their lives (now a whole group of husbands thinking we are crazy). What better thing to do in our small group WITH our husbands than this!

And on a personal note, I am trying to get my brain around our American dream life before our 4 year old daughter comes home from India in a few months (God willing). How does a kid go from an orphanage to our life and maintain a sense of stability. God help us. We are a mess.

Love to you Jen... You write my heart.

Hi Jen, I belong to a Book Club who started out doing what a book club does- reading books. We met monthly to "discuss" what we learned from that month's book, which usually lasted about ten minutes. I was one of the valiants, trying to bring us back full circle after we got off topic. I've since given up. It's not worth it. Women ARE like spaghetti, if you've ever heard that saying (i'm sure you have), and it shows when ten girls get together in one room...with food. and wine. Then, we all started having babies, and although the book of the month reading was still in effect, we would instead have the latest baby-have-er share her birth story- ALL the gory details. And then, you know, one thing would lead to another and all of a sudden someone would shout out that they were pregnant but to not tell anyone yet because not even their family knew (how can you not share news such as that when placentas and circumcisions are being described in great detail? It just pours forth from your mouth--unstoppable, really). Anyways, i digress (i'm spaghetti too.). So a few months ago, my friend Christine chose your 7 book to read. I have to admit, we were probably the only two that read it, but don't take that as a slam at all. WE LOVED IT. the rest of the "book club" girls, however, were probably too busy milking their goats, rolling their own cigars from homegrown tobacco, pulling a hanging child out from a basement escape window, having a baby, getting pregnant, stirring up bone broth for their baby's bottles, or breastfeeding in public to have a chance to even order your book online, much less read it. But i KNOW they would fall in love with it. These girls are extreme. These girls have farms in their backyards in the middle of Wichita. They brew their own beer and make their own wine. They have crazy children (one being mine). We've gone through numerous trips to the ER, dealing with severe allergies in our children, mysterious illnesses and diseases, and crazy family drama together, as well as the usual "Does anyone else feel like a failure of a mom sometimes? Ready, go..." (my post last week). Some are sweet and quiet. Most of us are loud. Really loud. We share our deepest prayer requests with each other. This group is incredible, and while all of them might not be up for this weird 7 journey, I KNOW i can make up for the deficit with other ladies in my life (my mom, for example, loved your book). To end this very short comment, i'll add some hilarious comments from the book club group wall:
-My daughter just told me "Mommy I love your milking things so you can feed George!"...yep, she meant my boobs...REALLY hope this doesnt post to my facebook status update!!
-Girls, do you know when it's time to throw out your sports bras and get new ones??? It's when your boobs actually flop OUT of them when you're running. Tomorrow I will be getting new ones.
-Okay, this is kind of awkward...but does anyone have any tips for how to teach their FIVE YEAR OLD how to wipe his own behind? I am so scared he's going to get some infection or something because he is really not very talented in the wiping department...it's easier for me to keep doing it myself, even though I am just plain embarrassed now when he goes to friends' houses and hollers for their mom to come a'wiping him when he's done! :) Any tips? Or is it just common sense? Thanks loves!
-Um... the "lady" next door (who I believe to be an exotic dancer) just came out to take her trash out wearing JUST a t-shirt... JUST A T-SHIRT. I actually laughed out loud in front of her as I said hello because of the ridiculousness of the situation. Just needed to share that.
-had a dream last night that book club was on a boat, and the dinner that night was panda bear, and I was going on and on about how delicious it was since it was from the lamb family.
-Book Club..Sams Club...my kids dont see a difference! There have been quite a few times that I mention needing to go to Sams Club and they say " to see your friends"...I guess I need to get out more if the only 2 places my kids thing that I go are Book Club and Sams Club. ;)
-My kids have been begging the past few weeks to play in the sprinkler...but it was too chilly before lunch and then after naptime we are doing a billion things...anyway, this morning I let them play in the shower together with swim suits on. They were so excited...H ran in to George and yelled "God is SO good George!"
And personally, I have felt hard tugs on my heartstrings to live a more radically different life, to try and emulate the life of Jesus. This book has been a step in that journey, but i still haven't quite figured out the HOW.
Thank you for your consideration! Or i guess it's just a random selection, right?

Tonight I will actually be introducing this study to my ladies Bible Study group. After praying for God to show me what to do now, (just finishing up Beth Moore's JAMES) I received an email from a friend/women's minister about this study. I only had to see the title for God to let me know THIS IS IT! My husband is a teacher at a private Christian school where alot of "rich kids" go. My kids are constantly thinking that they are poor and don't have so many things when they are so blessed and don't even know it. God's been convicting me about a way to show them just how much we DO have and how we live in slavery to all these things. Just after reading the intro, i knew this is just what we a family needed. When telling a few women and about it, I received so many responses saying this is just what we need to start the year. Our church loves to skype with missionaries from all over the world, so the skyping part would just be amazing! Thanks for this awesome chance to get back to the way God intended our lives to be and not what we've let the world dictate to us (and we just choose to believe it). Looking forward to what God's going to teach our group (especially me) through this study! Hope to be one skyping with you soon, but if not, I'm really enjoying your FB posts. You are soooo real. Love that! Thanks for sharing your experiment with us and following God's leadership.

I loved 7 and I look forward to hearing you speak in Paducah, KY in April. I grew up there and am coming to visit my mother and go to the Women's Day with her at my childhood church. If I won the 7 study I would offer it as a Bible study at my church. I have recommended the book to many of my friends and I know there would be more than 10 willing to participate. Thank you for the offer with Skype!

My husband and are 40, we've been married for 10 years. We haven't been able to have kids. We almost adopted a little boy a year ago-the birth mother took him from us on the day after Christmas 2011. It's been a hard year. We decided to become foster parents and have been waiting waiting waiting for the home study to be written. We live in a two bedroom apartment and he works from home. I'm a party planner (non-pro) and he's a graphic designer/backpacker/mountain climber. Friends of min suggested your book for a book study with the ladies at our church (I'm in charge of women's ministry). I got to possessions chapter about the time we started re-arranging our little apartment. I laughingly said, we should do this in Nov. Between the two of us, we had given away 400 items by Nov 15. I was dumbfounded. There's still so much left! Thank you! I would never have looked at our stuff that way and God is using 7 to free us - make us more flexible and available to Him! I think, with the holidays, I left the ladies in the dust - we've only met once in Oct. We're looking forward to doing this study together!

ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME. I am an adoptive mom. I get 2 entries. Just kidding. That was rude. I am no more worthy than anyone except Gary who commented that he likes cheese.

Yes, I throw my name in the hat! Loved 7, loved our Garage Sale 4 Orphans, love how your stuff encourages my covenant group of pastor's wives with young children... Would be awesome to skype with you!

Yes!!! Please! We've already started reading with our mentors, a study would be great. I read half of interrupted OUTLOUD to my husband last night. He majorly identified with the Brandon sections. It was a night we will remember for a long time !

I was reading your book in the fall...totally convicted and just what I had been talking with the Lord about. I literally read the last page and got on the fb and Crown's Ministries had just posted the announcement that you would be in Marion Jan. 11 and 12th. WOW!! So exciting!! Now...if my grandson is not born in the next three days...I will be there! :) From Thanksgiving to Christmas I did the "food" fast....7 foods. Learned a lot....and want to share this experience with the women in my church. Would love the small group materials to facilitate the opportunity for us to grow and change.

people pray for "travel mercies" might I ask for "study mercies"?! tee-hee... My small group is planning on this study starting in Feb. (Jessica, Dori, Shele, Anna, Charla, Kelly,Susan, Desirae, Crystal and me). We would beyond love the kit and beyond beyond beyond love to skype with Jen!! oh and FREE BATES!!

My wonderful group of sisters finished our last study in December and are trying to figure out our next one to start. I need to do your study and read your book. And I think everyone else in my group does, too. We'd love to win your free set, but we'd pay for it, too! :) Bless you for writing this. How needed it is.

I'm thinking yes.

Holy Cow that's a lotta comments. We'd love to have a copy of the study because my friends and I runa women's retreat at Windy Gap (YL camp) every year and we want this study to be the basis by which we plan the weekend. Puh-leeze!

Also, I would never wish anything untoward (what does that even mean?) to happen to fellow sisters, but if the IF retreat you are speaking at September 6-7 gets cancelled we'd LOVE to have you in NC. I'm for reals. Not about the "untoward" part, but about your coming if it opens up!

I would love to do this with my youth group girls!

Worth a shot, huh? I've been dying to read 7 and I know some people at my church that would definitely be on board with starting this as a group
:)

My pretend mom has already bought the leader kit, because she's obsessed. And I've already gotten ten of my friends to say "yes" to saturday mornings at 9am to walk through the study with me... They have no idea what I've done to them. Lord bless them and give them a forgiving heart!

My small group at church had you come speak at our women's conference a few years ago and we've all been dying to have you back. So much has changed since then and we are so ready to do 7 together...and with you :) So YES, we're all in!

I sit around and look at my stuff and I simultaneously want more and am repulsed by it. I need this study. And I have the best group of friends who I know I can rope into doing it with me. Tuesdays at 9:00 are already set aside.

I would love to win the set!! I'm proposing this as our next women's group Wednesday night study. I think that it's a perfect way to start the new year. I'm also excited about seeing you here in Knoxville this year!

I hope this contest is still open. I loved the book and definitely had my small book club read it. We are on Long Island in New York and can certainly use an experiment against excess. Blessings, Dawn

We would love to do this study in our small group! We've already read the book and keep looking for ways to dig deeper!

7 is one more great thing in a journey God has been taking me on since the summer of 2011. You have The Council, Jen, but I have a Wild Animals group of rockstar women and I think they will all be "in"! Add one for my kindred spirit in having our hearts turned toward the poor and starving...that makes 5. I will also ask 4 from my community group, plus me...that's 10. Why should you pick me? If I can snag this study for $100 I will donate $200 to Compassion International or Feed My Starving Children.

I was just talking to the ladies at church tonight about doing this study. If we win I'll make the time to lead it.

The girls in my Sunday school class have a Bible study two times a year. Our last study was Hearing God's Voice Through the Static, which we all LOVED! We live in a suburb of Birmingham and we enjoy the great schools, nice houses, etc. But sometimes it seems like a bubble and there is too much of everything material. I think this study would be a great fit for our group. In other words, pick me!

I just picked your book up today after listening to a great recommendation from a friend and wanted to check out your site - yay! So glad I did :) Last spring, a small group of young moms from my church met for an evening Bible study twice a month while the dads stayed home with our kiddos (woohoo!). With no one to lead and no study in mind, we took a break last fall. If I can get my hands on a great study, I said I'd facilitate this spring...this would be a fun "experiment" and study to share in together! Thanks for such a great offer!!

I would love to offer this study! I am listening to it on Overdrive from our library. Seattle is the least church state in the nation, ask Jesus:-0) Pick ME!

I would buy this study to share any day!!! Wonderful!

Yes! I would ask my Bunko group to do it with me!

Pick me pick me.

I've just spent the last few hours reading "7"... it has wrecked me in the best way possible. I would love the opportunity to share this with my 'tribe'... a band of seemingly random 20-30-something singles/college-aged/some-married/some-mothers/some-mid-lifers/but all desperate who are stuck in the thick of the Machine. I'm convinced this could be life changing, not only for us (our little 'tribe' of friends), but ultimately for the local church (AKA - the hope of the world - AKA - the Kingdom of God here on Earth). Yes, please.

Yes, yes, please. Also, Interrupted is ruining my life. Thanks.

7 has been on the list for my small group, and my church's women's ministry will love having the DVDs in our study library as a resource for women! Thanks so much for investing your time into this project!

Heard you speak at the Women's Ministry Leader's conference in Nashville. I bought a copy of 7 and read most of it on the flight home. I have been touted it to friends since I returned. We'd love to do this study together.

Me please :)

I have my own form of "the council" and we havevtalked about this study! We have all read the book! I am also going to Africa for 2 weeks this summer, and I think this study would help me challenge myself to cut out the excess and love more!

I have your (unread) book on my Kindle. I want the study because I totally can't imagine doing it. I'm scared to read the book, scared to be convicted, scared to take the plunge, scared to do without ... all of which points to the fact that I totally need to do it! I'm great at limiting my kids screen time, getting them to eat their veggies, having them do the right thing - but me? Limits? Boundaries? Puh-lease. So yes, it's time.

I will find 9 equally frightened girls to come along on this journey with me!

I meet with 9 other mom friends every Wednesday morning in Fort Wayne, Indiana. We've been meeting for several years and have discovered serious community, transformation, and growth as we continue to meet together. We are just finishing up Beth Moore's James study and are looking for something new to study next. One of us mentioned your book and how great it would be to read as a group. Then, I visited your site and saw this new study and giveaway! It would be a great fit!

I read the book over the summer and even though I have tried to implement many of the principles, I really want/need a challenge to look at all the areas. I have a Bible Study group currently looking for our next read. I'm glad it's "biblically heavy" (is that what you said?) Our group is a meat and potatoes one--oh no we won't get meat and potatoes, wlll we? lol.

I am throwing my hat into the ring! I love the book and it would be a pleasure to study it my peeps here in Japan. I promise to not make you skype in the middle of the night! I am keeping it simple and sweet...I really love the book!

I would love it.

We definitely want to do this!

I read your book and literally laughed out loud several times. I'll admit...I might have a "biblical" crush on you. I said might! :) But I would love to have this study and would love to open my home to the women in my neighborhood and the women in my life to do the study together. Not only do I see the need for this in our area but I believe the women around here need to laugh, need to distress. I have had this desire for a while now and winning this would take me out of my comfort zone. So, put me in coach!! Oh, and the other reason I want to win this is because I want to Skype with you! I said it and I'm not ashamed!!! ;)

I have a group of 7 friends from college. 1 of the 7 bought the book 7 for the rest of us and shipped them all across the country from California to Kansas. We read the book together, communicating through email and Twitter. We bounced around a lot of ideas about how to make changes in our lives but not many of us got very far. I would love to be able to share this with my best girls. Perhaps, with a set structure God will use our study to make us more like Him.

Hilarious! I missed the giveaway but couldn't get past the first paragraph-

I totally had steamed cabbage and quinoa for lunch!
Kate

A dear friend and I were reading the book last year at the same time....she said to me, "this would be a great study".....Jan. 6 we began our nine week study with 17 brave souls who are looking for inspiration to move closer to Christ's example and will for their (our) lives. I came to your site for a word to share with the group this morning....I am so excited about the study materials!!! I may have missed the contest....but maybe not the boat!

This was just brought up today in our small group and immediately everyone fell in love with this. We all thought that this would be a great way to humble ourselves to the ways that the rest of the world lives.

Hi Jen, I started reading 7 last week and I am stunned at the impact it is having on my life already. I laugh and cry as I read what you experienced and learned. I am a small group leader with a group of nine in my home. I know there is one more woman the Lord is planning to send to join us on this study. We NEED to do this study.

Oh please I hope it's me! I'm a pastor looking HARD for meaningful Bible study to help form small groups this year so that women can get to know each other, get to know God better, and see their lives transform. I would grab this, pray like crazy, and then grab the 12 women God said to grab. Thanks for your work!!

I am late.....But, just the topic and title inspires me. I was just sitting here "trying" to pay some bills. And I got side tracked....yeah, I'm like that. I went to my newsfeeds....And because I saw that it was sent on January 7, and the title was 7, and up until recently I had 7 kids (just finalized our adoption of Iveta, 15 year old Latvian), I just had to open it and see what was inside. I am inspired. And while I can not even afford the deal price, one day I will buy this and do it! So fun! In the meantime, I may just read the book and do it first myself, and then inspire my people! Thanks for your obedience. TJ

This would be an AWESOME church-wide study to do!! But first I would start with my husband and I's small group and the women's study at our church. This book landed in my hands on Jan. 3...just three days after our "year of less" has begun. We will be moving this year. We will be stepping out more. We will be giving more. Would LOVE to have this study to share!

I read 7 a few months ago with a girlfriend and we both fell in LOVE!! We formed a group of women that'll be meeting at my home tomorrow night...at 7 (cute huh?). Tomorrow's meeting is to discuss how we want to tackle the book as a group. This package would be great!
We're jazzed about time with Christ, adopting and loving the homeless!
Great job Jen at bringing so many together!
blessings,
Melisa

So I'm not a 7 reader... but have been stocking everything about YOU the past few days after seeing a friend was reading this and doing this on facebook.

Just getting ready to start up a women's bible study at our church - and this would be SUCH A PERFECT way to start. You've got LOTS of fans... but I'm your newest. You can bet on that :-)

There is a group of stay at home moms in my neighborhood. We have all expressed a desire to attend a bible study at our churches but we all struggle with making it work with our children and schedules. I would love to do this study in my home during the week in the middle of the day so that we can all "get feed". We always put our kids needs before our own, this is something we need for ourselves!

I led my first Bible Study last summer in my home. There were 12 of us! Pretty good for a first timer! The gals are enthusiastic about returning this summer for another study, and I've been researching avenues that I think would benefit us all. I came across The 7 Experiment, and a light bulb blazed in my head! My numbers of ladies wanting to join the study are increasing, and I am looking to our church, for a larger venue. The focus with my church sermons as well as my Bible Study this semester, has been on sacrifice, submission and a Sovereign God. All we NEED is God, not all this other "stuff" that society and self tells us. As we struggle with day to day temptations and desires, we are leaning more and more on each other and our Bibles to take us down the road - and lift us to a higher place - - - coming to God first and foremost - and not looking at the world for our pleasures and fulfillment. This study, it sounds like, would help us discern world from Word, and give us valuable tools and determination to get there! I would really love your consideration to this wonderful gift. It would be an answer to prayer and an armor of Godly empowerment to all of those in my study group!

Soooooo, I don't know if I'm too late for this... and I definitely don't have anything clever to say.

Pick me anyway?

PS I do have a group of women folk that currently gather and are looking for something different to study... just sayin.

Jen, fellow mom of mostly boys, and soul sister......I am CRAVING a group like this to come together to start getting rid of stuff and in turn growing together! I am a newish mom who happened to have 3 boys in less than 3 years and now that I can finally start to breathe again (the littlest is 6 months) I am craving a community of women to challenge each other in our thinking. I hope my name gets picked and we can start on this journey with you. And hopefully when my littles get a little bigger I can take to writing and influencing the way you have....what a voice used by Our Creator! Beautiful!

Not sure if this is done, but I would love to be a part of this study, and have the materials for my small group.

My husband and I just came home (3 weeks ago), from spending 18 months in Peru on a ministry mission. My heart wants to stay out of the way of the fire hydrant force of the "excess" stateside. I would find and love to do this study with 10 people in our community here!

Girlfriends and I just read 7 together and are now staggering forward juggling questions. We'd love to take it further and love the week-long vs. month-long format for round 1. Thanks!

Pick US! I belong to a small church that is growing quickly thanks to the power of the Holy Spirit! We're getting ready to start our new semester of growth groups and this would be perfect for our growing congregation. It would cut across generational and gender lines to meet the needs of so many people...and with a life-changing message! American culture and a bondage-free life in Christ don't necessarily mix! Something has to give! Pick us, pick us, pick us!

Just moved our growing family back to Austin- right in the heart of our families of origin with all our big, complicated history. Maybe this will allow us to all be humble before one another and work together to do small things with great love for God... (While being an avenue of healing among us...)

We just recently started small group study at our church, Life Groups. What could possibly be more relevant to life in this land of plenty that we live in than dealing with excess. It is a constant battle and the 7 study looks like high-powered ammo to me! Would LOVE to have this study to share and learn.

I'm starting this group at my house soon. We are going to talk about our husbands and kids behind their backs, lock the kids in a room and drink coffee. It's going to be great!

Okay, my heart is heavy, like I got the Holy Spirit sittin on my chest, got my attention heavy. Me and three other lovely ladies dove righti to this Seven study. I was all for it, not because I prayed about but because I liked how the number 7 was drawn on the cover, I'm just trying to be real here. So, last week was FOOD...I was hungry, irritable, and wondered why did I agree to this. Then, this week. Clothes. I chose to wear the same shirt and pants and shoes to work all this week, not I intensionally, but due to my apparently bad future outfit choosing ability. I was in Ukraine adopting our son for five weeks with just a carry on, I can do this! Then, we went to Thirst Women's retreat at our church tonight at Southeast Christian Church. Tammie Head and Kelly Minter shared what God is up to in their lives.. Kelly just got back from the Amazon ministering to "jungle" people and challenging us with the Great Commision and examine all the Stuff we ChrisitanChurchGirls have. I confessed to my girlfriends that i was mad for having to wear the same outfit tonight despite more and more people complimenting the purple shirt. Even while standing in line for the bathroom, surrounding by ladies in their cute outfits, someone compliments me for my shirt. Each of us were paralyzed in chairs as Kelly finished up talking, we turned to each other and laughed---nervous giggles cause God is getting us ready, burst our little safe bubbles. I stalked Kelly afterwards, which I have never done before to tell her about Jen Hatmaker and this study and how we are broken and trusting Him...she said she would tell you.

Not sure if I am too late to the party, but I would love to do this with my small group! I work with college students at the University of Pittsburgh and already know a group of girls who is working through the very issues you talk about in your book. Pick me, please! :)

Thanks for your obedience in doing what you do! We are grateful for the resources you provide and are hopeful that we will benefit from your generous offer.

Would LOVE this deal! :)

Is it too late? My daughter and a group of young professional,stay at home mom's and mom's who need to be feed the word. They have very little funds so this would be a great blessing for them.We will be praying for the best.

Don't know when the drawing is but we are a small church in Lubbock that would love to do this Bible Study! Please put us in the drawing!

I am in the middle of a lot of change. My husband took a new job, we will be moving this spring, one child will graduate from college and the other from high school. My current job as an event planner has ended. I'm hanging in limbo waiting for the next stage of life to begin. Your study would be wonderful for me to do as I prepare for what's next. I would give an open invitation on fb for anyone who would want to join me.

I Just met you in Marion Illinois at the Women's Conference you attended in January 2013. Never heard of you before that! Thoroughly enjoyed you and your interpretation of God's Word! My husband is a Pastor at a very small church here in Marion and I am a ENTERVERT! which does not go along well with being a Pastor's Wife. LOL God layed it upon my heart to start a ladies only small group so I can build relationships between us that try our best to do God's work! I would love to start with this curriculum you are offering! I will be going out of my comfort zone and putting my faith in Gods hands to help me lead this!! God Bless YOU and I am PRAYING for you and your ministry!

Our Fredericksburg Christian School staff would LOVE to participate in this together. It would be a blast to have all the teachers and staff sharing stories about how it's going.

i am a pastor's wife who LOVES this book. would love to share this bible study with many groups of ladies. please include me in the raffle!

Few books have inspired me like this one. I can't imagine 7 months but 7 weeks will still be a challenge. EXCESS be gone! Excited to share and get started.

If you're still gathering names...I'm in and I'll bring a Sunday School class full of gals.

If you are still doing this I WOULD love a set for half price. We have a group at our church called the Warrior Chicks - there are about 15 of us that have been meeting for a couple of years. We are just finishing up our Beth Moore study on David and are looking for our next study. It would be a great relief to my ladies for them to have a reduced price study!! Pick Me! Pick Me!! thanks for consideration and many blessings!!

I'm in- ALL IN!

Getting ready to move across country this summer after 7 years. I need inspiration and focus and would love to do something special with my MOPS friends before I go...may be too late, but thought I would check!

Did you choose yet?? My Friday morning Bible Study group is a fabulous group of women who have spent the last 5 years building friendships and trust with each other. We've laughed, cried, prayed, cooked, and thrown fits together. I read "7" last year and keep bringing it up in all the other studies we do, so now that there is one...WE NEED IT!
(and oh how we Dutch girls love a bargain!)
