{"product_id":"biblical-meditation-carlton-babatunde-williams-9780995704312","title":"Biblical Meditation: The Secret to a Transformed Life (Study Guide)","description":"Meditation holds the key to unlocking the transforming power of God in every life, and it has the potential to ignite revival fire in every heart. The way the word meditation is used today deviates from the original meaning in the Hebrew and Greek texts of the Bible, dampening its effectiveness. However, biblical meditation started with the patriarchs and persisted throughout the early church. God told Joshua that meditation is the recipe for a prosperous journey in life (Joshua 1:8). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis study guide is designed as an accompaniment to the book, Biblical Meditation. It will enable you to hone your understanding of the concepts shared in Biblical Meditation by exploring questions, which expose any underlying beliefs, for further reflection and discussion. It will also challenge you to examine the practical ways these concepts can be applied and lived out. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhile the study guide is intended for group settings whether small or large, facilitated by leaders who have read Biblical Meditation, it can also be used for personal study. I recommend that readers begin by first completing Biblical Meditation, to receive a holistic understanding of the subject of meditation. Then start again, reading a chapter of the book before delving into the corresponding chapter in the study guide. The chapters in the study guide match the chapters in the book. It is best to take a sequential approach, building understanding and steering discussions from the first chapter to the last. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOnly some of the scripture passages referred to are written out in the study guide, so it is good to have a Bible with you as you go through the book. Writing space is provided to record your answers and reflections. Feel free however, to use a journal or other writing material to capture thoughts and information that do not fit in the space provided. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eStart each session with prayer, asking the Holy Spirit to give you insight. Inspired Bible prayers can be found in the appendices. Essential study aids for your devotional life are also listed. Many are my personal favourites. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWork through the study guide at a comfortable pace for you or for your group. The goal of meditation is not to finish but to be transformed. It is my prayer that as you journey through the study guide, you will receive insight into this ancient path and claim meditation back with its true meaning and practice. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eI commend this book to the precious Body of Christ who have been purchased by the blood of the Lamb of God and called to a high purpose. May your heart's hunger for more of God be satisfied through the power of the Holy Spirit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carlton Babatunde Williams\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0995704317\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780995704312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Soundink Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/20\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.99w x 0.25d","brand":"Carlton Babatunde Williams","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46670486372607,"sku":"9780995704312","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ca929b89-098c-46a8-ae47-9ab70406ad04.jpg?v=1741316927","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/biblical-meditation-carlton-babatunde-williams-9780995704312","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
