Calling 3-8 committed Christian friends to join me as beta readers AND beta Bible study participants for my upcoming workbook + companion book! 📖🙏

I’m developing a deep dive into grace workbook/journal that is designed to be walked through like a Bible study (group/individual) complete with Scripture reflections, exercises, questions, and application steps. (Paired with my related book, Time To Really Live Free.)

How it works:

•  We’ll go chapter by chapter as a small group.

•  Read the material ahead, then meet for discussion (it will be either in-person, or Zoom depending on location of sign ups).

•  Attendance at discussions is required to stay in the group—your active input shapes the final version!

•  Provide honest, constructive feedback on clarity, spiritual impact, exercise usefulness, flow, and more.

•  Treat it like a real Bible study: pray through it, apply it personally, and share how it resonates in your walk with God.

•  IMPORTANT: This workbook is a Bible study companion to my book Time to Really Live Free. To answer the questions and participate fully, you’ll need access to the book. If you haven’t purchased/read it yet, grab a copy here: [link to darlenegaston.com/shop or cadiabookhouse.com]. eBook option available for quick start!

This is a volunteer opportunity—no compensation, but you’ll get early access, help refine a tool for others’ spiritual growth, and be thanked in the acknowledgments. If/when it goes to print you will receive a hard copy for all your input.

Ideal participants:

•  Followers of Christ who enjoy Bible studies, workbooks, or devotionals.

•  Willing to commit time for reading + regular group meetings (I’ll accommodate availability as much as possible).

•  Able to give thoughtful, supportive feedback in a positive group setting.

•  Comfortable with confidentiality (simple agreement to protect the unpublished material).
