We're so excited that today is the "birthday" for Becoming Heart Sisters: A Bible Study on Authentic Friendships by Natalie Chambers Snapp.

Did you know that friendships with other women are as important to our mental, physical, and spiritual health as rest, exercise, and prayer? It's true.  In fact, Harvard University's popular Nurses' Health Study found that women without female friendships pose the same risk to their health as smoking and overeating. We don’t just want friends—we need friends.

This study is intended for all women regardless if you have a large circle of friends, a small close group, or are even struggling with having been hurt by female friendships. No matter where life may have you, God has great insights to share with you about the importance of relationships.

Join Natalie, as she digs into Scripture, offers some stories and laughs, and helps us on our journey of living lives that are honoring of God.

We recognize that there are many study choices out there. But we are confident that you'll enjoy drawing up a chair for some important biblical girl talk.

Since we can't celebrate this birthday with you in person, we're still going to give you some party favors. Visit Natalie's author page or the Becoming Heart Sisters Shop page and access the full week 1 workbook content and first DVD session for free! Simply scroll down to the Free Resources section of the page to download them. We've also included inspirational images and a fun group activity.

Let us know what you think, and we welcome you to share this information with others you think would enjoy it too!

May God enrich your friendships and draw you close to him.
