Your creative spiritual journal

This book is spiritually challenging in an engaging way. It sets out realistic and creative ways to engage in reading the Bible and entering into prayer life on a daily basis.
The author provides a good starting point for diving deeper into your own spiritual journey. There are two extended reflections of Psalm 103 and Ephesians 3 that provide some direction for study and reflection, but most of the journal leaves plenty of room for recording personal discoveries from reading, praying and listening.
This is a great resource for people who like to be more creative and expressive when reading the Bible and praying; it provides a ready-made format beautifully produced to facilitate that.
It’s exciting to have something that I can start doodling on and putting my ideas in without having to attempt making my own templates. It’s thought provoking, challenging and fun. I particularly like the weekly plan which includes note taking for the sermon; it is nice to have it all contained in one place in one handy journal.
The fact that all of the material is undated means that missing a day or two does not lead to a guilt-trip!
