It is complete for a small church retreat or a large one. We are going to have our retreat on Jan. 26-27. We have limited workers but it is so complete we can use only a few. It seems to be a great outreach also.

It's a retreat in a box! Makes it simple to put together a quality retreat for our ladies. I would have liked to order more invite cards, though, for mailing out. The ones from the website were not quite as nice. Also, a workbook to go along with the sessions would be great.

1/29/2007 7:15:56 AM: exciting, my brain was working over time making this work for a 1 day retreat!
I ordered this to do as a small group retreat but have had such an awesome request that I am ordering 25 more books and doing this as a one day retreat the Saturday after Valentines day. The LOVE theme is perfect and I can easily adapt this to a one day retreat. Thank YOU for your continued support in helping me to spread God's word.

Three of us from our church decided to put this together for a weekend retreat held in our church. We hoped for 50-75 and planned for 100, just to be safe. We held our Loving Well retreat last weekend, and ministered to over 150 women!!!! Everything is made easy with excellent sessions by Beth Moore and fun extras to use if need be. The topic was perfect for us, women with whom we rub shoulders with regularly all learning the same principles on loving the way God wants us to. God used this retreat to draw us closer to Him and to each other, I highly recommend it!!! Oh, and we offered a follow-up discussion group featuring the journal that goes with the retreat and so far we've got twenty signed up.

There was nothing I disliked about the product. I loved that it all came in a kit that had all the resources at my fingertips! All I had to do was to organize it and invite the women. We had to order 3 different times because so many women wanted to come. We ended up with 50 women total. I only had to charge $25 to cover food, totes and the journal. As the women's ministry director, it took almost no time for me to put this together. Our women were so encouraged...we laughed, cried and really did meet new friends. We did not have an overnight retreat but had a Friday evening and Saturday morning. It was perfect.Thank you, for giving us this resource. We are waiting for the next Retreat in a Box.

This was by far one of the easiest retreats I've even helped plan and facilitate. It is complete and can be done whether you have a team helping you or doing it alone. We just completed our week-end following the format in the program guide. We had a wonderful turn out and even had ladies from our community attend. We laughed, we cried, we were stretched, we were challenged as we learned to love well. Our relationships with each other, our family and prayfully with identifying the "joys,testys,foes and fars" in our lives we will certainly be different because of this wonderful resource. I highly recommend it to any size group of ladies. Very affordable and the tote bags were a huge it. We were able to get our tote bags just in time. They were difficult to obtain and we found out that there was only 200 they could be found in the whole country as they were backordered. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

The whole kit was user-friendly! We just had our retreat on Mother's Day weekend and it was life-changing for so many of our women. Thank you for providing such a great resource for women. (We even had some men show up!)

There isn't anything I didn't like - I was challenged to search my own heart, ask for God's forgiveness when I have not loved well, and the strength and wisdom to begin loving better. I would ask for the consideration of more studies like these with Beth as they fit well into busy lives. Love You Beth! You Go Girl!

We just came back from our retreat which is from Friday till Sunday about 2:00 We have always had 4 sessions so this fit in our schedule perfectly. We gave out bags with name tags so we could tell them apart. They will be a great reminder of this retreat. We did the skits which was a great way to start the DVD. Many tears & laughter was shed. WE HOPE BETH IS PLANNING ONE FOR NEXT YEAR. Thank you so much Beth we love your studies.

3/10/2008 11:15:03 AM: Wonderful, A Much Needed Resource!
I loved that this was just like being at a Living Proof Live event! It worked fabulously and we were so excited to bring Beth to Downeast Maine. Many women from our area aren't able to travel the long distances that we have go to see Beth so we were able to bring Beth to them. Please, LifeWay, produce more products like this!! The running times were just right. We set it up just like the LPL events run with a Friday night/half day Saturday schedule. Perfect! It was great to bring women from different churches all over our area to one place to connect and worship together. Much needed here in rural Maine!

Beth Moore''s Loving Well Retreat in a Box was an incredible experience for our women''s ministry. We did it on a Friday night and all day Saturday with 60 ladies. We had about 7 weeks of prayer going on to cover the entire event and it was very successful. We did the skit which was adorable and thought provoking to kick things off and then we watched the first DVD teaching eating milk and cookies. All day Saturday was great too which included a yummy lunch. Again this is way more than 5 stars! It was a galaxy!! We have pictures of our event that we''d love to send to Beth!

4/14/2009 4:57:41 PM: Great Study!
We did this in a small group setting and met on Thursday mornings for 4 weeks, and then recommended that our women''s ministry hold a weekend retreat so more women could participate. God used this study to teach us so much, and while we were learning, we had such FUN! Beth''s sense of humor cracks us up! The Thursday morning group played the games recommended for the retreat, including the Love Song game. This study was definitely a hit! The workbook/journal was not what we are used to...that was our least favorite part of the study. We would have preferred something more in-depth for our weekly study.

We held our retreat in Jan. from a Fri. night - Sat. afternoon. We have a small church but over 20 ladies participated. Everyone was truly blessed. It was so simple to put together. They would all ask how I thought of some of the things ( love notes, games, etc.) My answer was always the same, "It was in the box." Thank you so much. We're planning another ladies night next Jan. and I pray the Lord will guide us to the next study. Retreat in a Box was truly answered prayer.
