September Whimsy has introduced a challenge:

A few weeks ago... I wrote about my friend Ellen's and my decision to create and participate in our own To Be Read challenge. Well, here is my list of books.

Her list includes Andree's book Won't Let You Go Unless You Bless Me. Currently, this title is out of print, but should be available in the next 60 to 90 days.

Yes, a lot of loyal Andree Seu readers are disappointed that her book Won't Let You Go Unless You Bless Me is out of stock--and unavailable for Christmas gifts.

Regarding request to "restock" her first book, here's a brief explanation. Won't Let You Go Unless You Bless Me is a limited edition hardcover printing that unexpectedly sold out. In the book publishing industry, it is unusual for a first time author (who writes for a relatively unknown magazine) to sell 5000 copies in a single calendar year--if at all. Won't Let You Go Unless You Bless Me broke the rules by selling more than 9000 copies of its limited printing. Andree's response to the book's reception is: "...surprised that people would read it, and grateful to God that some are occasionally encouraged by it."

A paperback edition of Won't Let You Go Unless You Bless Me is in production, but will not be available for Christmas delivery due to the time involved in printing and binding it. The paperback edition will be available early 2008 and will include a new cover design and foreward by the editor of BreakPoint?s The Point.

Has Andree Seu visited a womens retreat or conference in your area recently? Here's what one blogger writes:

The cool thing about the brunch though, is that we once again had Andree Seu come speak to us! She spoke at our retreat in September and I have been reading her articles in World Magazine for years. Her writing touches my heart and listening to her speak gives me a voice for when I read her each week. So very down to earth, she spoke on joy. When God promises us the fruit of the Spirit it isn't for someday, it is for today. As Christians we need to exercise "muscular faith" and take hold of those promises now- regardless of the circumstances.

...to be my great delight, I just discovered World on the Web, a web resource completely separate from World Mag, where Andree writes almost daily.

That's correct. You may read Andree Seu's writings online, for free, most days at World on the Web. And then you can come back here and discuss it.
