For readers who know me and my personal journey with what I've
always called "scripture" journaling, you'll want to read Journaling
with Jesus, an insightful, honest and refreshingly motivating
nonfiction book by Carol Round.
If you've ever wanted to get closer to God through prayer,
scripture study and journaling, then this book is for you. Journaling with
Jesus is beautifully penned from the first word to the last, and gives
adult readers an opportunity to see the power of prayer while they are
developing a more intimate communication with God.
Round shares personal experiences that she has had with God
through her journaling of the past 10 years. She also shares the experiences
others have had with prayer journaling. She opens the way for readers of all
faiths to experience prayer journaling for themselves.
Consider these insights:
"(Prayer journaling) is a relationship with God. I talk, He
listens. He talks, I listen."
"...we write to grow, not to stay the same."
"I wasn't aware of God's plan to use my gifts and talents
for His glory. Through my daily habit of journaling, He has made me appreciate
the importance of letting Him shape and mold me into the woman He created me to
be."
Journaling with Jesus is for anyone desiring to improve his/her relationship with
God. Although this reader could see the direction of the book for women,
primarily, the truths spoken of in Round's book will assist anyone with the
desire for a deeper connection with God.
Discover the interest God has in you as His child. Feel the
presence of God.
Carol Round's book can be purchased at Amazon.
