Andree Seu doesn’t speak. She talks.
Andree Seu says she’s not a speaker. But I don’t think anyone at our church’s women’s conference this weekend would agree with her.
In front of 700+ women, she spoke as if she was sitting in the living room getting acquainted with a handful of women in a totally natural, conversational, disarming way.
In other words, if you’re familiar with her regular columns in World Magazine, this is just what you’d expect. And if this conference was your first encounter with Andree, you have an idea what you’ll find in her writing.
Most of us came away with appetites whetted, wanting more. We can find it in her regular blog at World Magazine online (click on “blogs”) and in her books, which are collections of her essays.
They’re short pieces, in other words–ideal for the moments waiting in the car pool line-up, or while nursing the baby, or wherever you do your short reading spurts.
I’m not saying anything about the content of her talks because I want you to listen to them. I’m not sure exactly when, but they’ll be available for download at the Bethlehem website. I’ll let you know.

I wasn’t able to attend this weekend, and the notes that have been appearing on the DG blog had me worried that recordings of the sessions wouldn’t be made available. I’m so glad to be wrong about that! Can’t wait to listen!
oh, I’m so glad I checked your site. I was just at DG’s blog looking for her talks. I’m reading Won’t Let You Go Unless You Bless Me right now and finding it so helpful. Glad (and slightly jealous) you got to go to the conference. Glad (and very relieved) I get to listen to it online!
(I’ve said “glad” now four times. Perhaps, this blog should be “Let the Jennapants be glad”…or not. five…)
What fun! I am re-reading her books this week as a (minor)consulation prize for missing the conference. I am glad you all enjoyed her in person.
Attended the conference. Love Andrée Seu! Andrée is honest and “in the light”… where true fellowship exists: “But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin (1 Jn 1:7).” And Andrée believes in God with a faith that expects from His hand: “And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him (Heb 11:6.)” Spiritually, and I have been refreshed and filled up ~ JOY! :)
I loved her down-to-earth attitude and the stories she shared from her life. I felt very encouraged after the conference, as I am sure many other women felt.
I really liked the conference! And really liked Andree Seu and bought “Won’t Let You Go…” What a great book — so real and honest, and yet so grounded in the Christ, too. Wish I could write like that!
