Hi, I'm Susie Larson. Thanks for listening to this podcast from Susie Larson Live.

It's only just a matter of it. Welcome to Sissy L ever since, ever since we've got you love.

Welcome to Sizzy Larson Live, so honored to get to spend this time with you. In fact, I look

forward to bringing you conversations every single day that hopefully inspire you in your

faith walk, the deep in your understanding of God's word, and that heightens your awareness of

his very real presence in your life. Well, you know what? My hubby and I have been in the same life group for quite a number of years with three other couples. And this past year, the girls decided we wanted to add another get together on the calendar where it's just us four girls, Bonnie, Susan, Judy, and myself. We meet at Bonnie's house every month. This is pre-COVID, but she has the gift,

the most amazing gift of hospitality. She just, the way she sets the table, the food that she makes. We are just counting the minutes until we get to be there. And every month, I go buy gifts for each of the girls. And without fail, I come in with my gifts. And Susan and Bonnie, you're like you have stop doing this. You can't keep buying gifts. And then Judy says, no, no, no, don't stop. I love presents. And we all laugh and we sit down and we settle in and we have an incredible dinner just catching up. And then we kind of grab our Bibles and our journals. We go into the living room and we just lean in and we carry one another's

burdens. And it is just one of the most sacred, sacred times. You know, I can't tell you what that

time means to me. There just really is something. Isn't there about being known and being loved in a way

that just heals your heart and helps you grow? You know, we're just better together, wouldn't you

say? Well, Robin Jones Gunn joins me today to talk about her latest novel. Fantastic summer reading. Being known. We've got a handful of copies to give away. This is a second in a series, but I want to tell you, it's, it's, you can read it as a standalone book. You won't want to put it down. Being known. If you want a good summer read

that will just pull you right in, text the word book to 877-933-2484. We'll get her on in just a

moment. Quick announcement. You might have heard this yesterday. Yesterday was our day one,

our first day of sign-ups. We're doing an online study starting July 6th, and we just opened up the registration. It's free. We're walking through my book, fully alive, learning to flourish, mind, body, and spirit. And this is just what's true. This book is all about inner healing and soul restoration. And what I say throughout the book is what happens in our soul, happens in ourselves. And we've all been through some pretty significant soul turmoil. So we decided to

partner together and pull this off. You can sign up for free on our website at myfaithradio.com. And just to show you what a connection, it's only been, I think, one day, we started yesterday. We have almost 500 people signed up. Now, if you want the book, you don't need the book because there's excerpts in the book, then the emails that she'll get and some reflection questions. But if you

want to take it deeper, there'll be a little link that you can click on to get the book. It's normally $15 for $10. And the code for that coupon is Faith Radio, just so you know. And then if you want the DVD sessions, this is not in the print, but I'm just giving you insider information.

If you were to go to Vimeo's On Demand page and search my name, the 10 sessions for Fully Live,

they're 18-minute produced teaching sessions.

That Faith Radio Code will work there as well, get it half off.

So you can get 2499 sessions for 12 and a half bucks, something like that. So register for the free online study. You don't have to do the book or the DVD. They're just there for you at myfaith radio.com. All right, let me tell about my guest. We'll get her on this show. Robin Jones Gunn is a best-selling author of more than, listen to this, 100 books.
