Kris Camealy

From the first moment I stumbled onto the pages of Always Alleluia, I knew I’d love this writer.

Kris Camealy weaves her heart through her words and reflects Christ’s heart through it all. And now she’s created a new space to welcome you — a space to stir our souls and deepen our relationship with Christ. The beauty and serenity of her new site is lovely.

Kris has also dreamed about another space, a real and tangible place where women can gather together and pour their prayers at the altar.

Refine: The Retreat

Next spring, Kris will open the doors and welcome each guest — each friend — to . . .

Refine: The Retreat on April 4 – 6, 2014.

And to celebrate all this, she’s giving away a free ticket to the retreat along with lots of books and special treats.

Take a moment and click over . . . You’ll be so glad you did.
