What People Are Saying

"Connie’s new full-color book, Flourish and Fly with God is a treasure hunt of experiential activations, devotionals, healing processes, beautiful expressions of artwork and so much more! Anyone who is looking for an encounter with Jesus for healing or playfulness will enter into His Presence easily through the pages of this book. "

Quay Ball, Best-Selling Author of Your Beautiful Exchange, How God Turns Your Brokenness into Joy

"You will be blessed beyond measure, in more ways than one, by reading Connie McDonald’s new book, Flourish and Fly With God. Through her deeply moving story and heartfelt truthfulness, I have newly discovered the real face of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. I’ve always sort of known God is with me everywhere and every moment, but He has always seemed far off and ‘up there’ somehow. Now I see Him as my loving Abba Father who I can run to and pour out my heart, cry with, and be wrapped in His loving arms to be held and comforted when my burdens seem too heavy."

When I first met Connie years ago there was a definite positivity in her that drew me in, and since that day I have made some of the most beautiful art with her guidance. Connie’s devotion to God just naturally flow and embraces the space around you.

I love wearing Connie’s clothing line, especially when I travel. They stay looking great and because of the artistry in the fabric, they are never the wrong style. Whether I’m in Scotland, Italy or Hawaii strangers will complement me on what I’m wearing!
