Ruth and Jan have identified eight areas of women’s lives, including life / work blend, well being, community, relationships and faith journey, which have the potential to greatly impact their happiness and life satisfaction.  They bring together a wealth of material on these areas into one, easy to read book ideal for today’s busy woman

Freewheeling can be read in one sitting, a chapter at a time or could even be studied in a group as an eight week course.  Each chapter ends with a discussion topic and suggested questions.  The high-design book is peppered with inspirational, thought-provoking and witty quotes and has spaces for the reader to write down her own thoughts and observations.  

Sure to appeal to Christian women keen to make the best of their often hectic lives, Freewheeling is also aimed at non-Christian women.  The topic of life-coaching has wide appeal and spiritual subtlety is woven into the fabric of the book in a way that introduces faith in a very natural non-threatening way for those who are not yet believers.  Ruth and Jan say, ‘We’ve already received messages from colleagues who plan to include the book in a gift wrapped basket of chocolates, champagne or bath bombs ready to give to friends for Christmas or birthdays.’

The authors say, ‘Whilst this journal is a ‘must have’ for every Christian woman, it was written following requests for a book which could be given to those who as yet have little understanding of the Christian faith.  Not intended as a study guide, it’s an easy read, looking at the issues which face all of us, with plenty of space to record our own responses.  Taking the coaching ‘wheel of life’, this journal considers how we can all make improvements in our lifestyles and ultimately find the life in all it fullness which Jesus promised.’

Ruth Adams and Jan Harney both work with Activate, an inter-denominational movement which resources and inspires Christians for outreach, and is particularly interested in culturally relevant evangelism, taking faith outside the church and into the community.
