Journaling as a Spiritual Practice: Tracing the Lines of Grace to God's Presence (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780802441003)

To journal is to trace the lines of grace and find, He is with me after all.

Sometimes we feel misplaced. Tender. Threadbare. And in those hollow spaces, we can wonder, Where is God? For over a decade, Allison Byxbe experienced sorrow upon sorrow. As the grief buried her, Allison was desperate for a way to reconnect to God's presence. Journaling through Scripture became her lifeline to God.

Journaling as a Spiritual Practice outlines Allison's transformative journey from grief and depression to healing and wholeness. The Bible is filled with rich language and pictures that reveal our triune God--living water, bread, a door, a gentle whisper. Journaling through Scripture's metaphors became her lifeline--a way to process the grief, to make sense of the impossible, and to encounter and then fully live in the presence of God once again.

This book guides readers through the spiritual practice of journaling. Each chapter weaves in Allison's journey, includes journaling examples and prompts, and shows you how to journal. Readers will immediately begin applying what they learn.

Are you looking for a fresh way to hear and experience God? Be mended by His mercy? Find shelter beneath His wing? Immerse yourself in Scripture through journaling, and you will find your way back into His presence.
