“Following God One Yes at a Time speaks of the God-given dreams, even sense of destiny that is within each and every one of us. Realization comes as we embrace a disposition of saying ‘yes’ to God. Connie is honest, humorous, biblical, and relevant. She is a masterful storyteller. She is very transparent regarding her fears and faux pas. More than one of her stories still has me chuckling, especially the one about the returned store items! The book is entertaining, but it is more than that. It invites the reader to realize the dreams that God has planted within each and every one of us.
—Pastor Harry Strauss, author of From Throwing in the Towel to Staying in the Fight

This book has helped me as I go through a career change. I need to discern God`s next step for me—to discern the next simple, immediate, possible yes and go forth with strength and courage.”

“Following God One Yes at a Time is no spiritualized self-help tome. Instead, Cavanaugh offers readers biblical wisdom and godly insights spiced with inspirational stories. Combined, these move readers toward surrender to God's desires and an understanding of how to reach them.

“The author lightens a heavy topic with her transparency about the ups and downs of her own spiritual journey. As she gains access to readers’ lives, she serves less as teacher or expert and more as funny companion, guide, and friend. Like the subjects of her stories, readers will learn to embrace grace as they see its power displayed.

“If you long for more in your walk with Christ or feel blocked from true intimacy with him, allow Connie Cavanaugh to help you draw near. She may be the author, but the Finisher pervades this fresh, fun volume in ways words can’t express. Read this book and experience God. That’s a gift even a great title can’t explain.”
—Marti Pieper, writer and editor, MartiPieper.com

“Her stories are believable because they are so rich with authenticity. At times I found myself laughing out loud and in the next instance propelled toward one of God’s truths in a way that I could not say NO. Connie made saying “Yes” to God achievable and desirable. Once you start reading this book, you won’t be able to put it down. Buy ten more for your sisters and friends so their lives can also be enriched in a way they were not prepared for.”
—Heidi McLaughlin, author of Sand to Pearls and Beauty Unleashed,HeartConnection.ca

“Connie is a gifted and inspirational speaker and writer. This latest book is shot through with the grace of God and is Connie at her best: compassionate, deep, witty, fascinating, loving, practical, honest, and Christ-centered. Spend some time with this book and it will make a difference. This is good writing and good reading.”
—Murray Pura, pastor and author of Rooted and Streams

“Connie’s transparency and humor help the reader accept what Connie has to say. The reader knows Connie has been there and struggled as others have to follow God. She inspires the reader to overcome the barriers of fear, pride, guilt, shame, comparison and doubt and to follow God ‘one yes at a time.’ ”
—Yvonne Ortega, author of Finding Hope for Your Journey through Breast Cancer

“Following God One Yes at a Time is ‘theologically rich,’ with many wonderful illustrations and practical applications. As a pastor, this is a book I would highly recommend to new Christians, growing Christians and even those seeking what it means to be a Christian.

“Thank you for making profound truths accessible. Thank you for not glossing over the difficulty of following Jesus at times. Thank you for not pretending that you've ‘arrived,’ but that you're still actively on the journey. I felt encouraged, challenged and inspired as I read.”
—Lou Leventhal, pastor of Emmanuel Baptist Church
