Dear Friends Welcome to Friends and Gems Freedom This is the fourth book in the Friends and Gems series. This book is meant to be used with two other books that can be purchased separately. The set of three contains a journal called Keeper of the Freedom for you to record your own personal freedom journey, a work of fiction called A One Year Bride; many who have read it said they were not able to put it down until they read it cover to cover and Friends and Gems Freedom which contains life changing bible studies and cooking workshops. You can use all three books together or separately and they will make a wonderful addition to your library. You will be learning wonderful truths that you can apply to your own life all the while enjoying fellowship and fun as you share your favorite recipes with your friends. Food, fellowship AND fun What could be better than that? The book also contains an instructor's guide and can be done privately in your own home with your friends or for church groups. At the end of each of the lessons there will be recipe to be shared with you. These are my own personal favorites. Each week be prepared to bring your favorite ones and share them. You can cook them together or put them in a book as a reminder of this very special time in your lives. It is powerful when women get together and share their sorrows, joys, worry's and concerns and lift each other up. No one can encourage like your friends and they will bring their own "gems" to help you to freedom. You are getting ready for a life changing event
