Review Written In Faith
"Written in Faith" resonated with me deeply, offering a refreshing and motivating approach to both journaling and deepening my relationship with God. It’s not just another devotional; it's a transformative journey of self-discovery guided by faith. I especially appreciated the author's emphasis on taking "radical responsibility" for our prayer lives – a call to action that felt both challenging and incredibly empowering.
The book's structure, a 40-day devotional, felt perfectly paced. Each day's prompt is thoughtfully crafted, blending scripture with insightful questions that gently nudge you towards self-reflection. It's a brilliant blend of personal development and spiritual growth, exploring how we grow individually, creatively, and in our connection with God. I found myself unexpectedly moved by the connection drawn between the Israelites' journey to the Promised Land and our own spiritual journeys – a powerful reminder of the importance of obedience and the consequences of disobedience. The book beautifully illustrates how our actions, choices, and even the words we speak over our lives profoundly impact our journey.
One aspect that truly stood out was the way the prompts helped me identify limiting beliefs. The exercises gently illuminated the often-unseen power these beliefs hold, hindering our creativity and confidence. They acted as a mirror, reflecting areas where I needed to consciously adjust my thinking and align it more closely with God's truth. It's a process of recognizing the power of our thoughts and choosing to shape them in accordance with faith and hope. It's not about instantly erasing negative thoughts, but rather about becoming consciously aware of them and replacing them with positive affirmations grounded in scripture.
The book's accessibility is another significant strength. While deeply introspective, it's approachable for both seasoned journalers and those new to the practice. The prompts are clear, concise, and invite a level of openness that feels safe and encouraging. Whether used as a personal devotional or within a group setting, the guided structure facilitates meaningful reflection and discussion. Even the physical format felt right; the size made it easily portable, perfect for quiet moments throughout the day.
For me, the prompt asking "What do you wish you could do all day?" proved particularly insightful. It felt like a distilled version of my life aspirations, bringing clarity to my vision for the future. The devotional’s overarching message – the journey from doubt to faithful trust, from discontentment to joyful surrender – is beautifully woven into the fabric of each daily entry. It's a book that stays with you, prompting continued reflection long after you've completed the 40 days. If you're looking for a fresh, faith-filled approach to journaling and personal growth, "Written in Faith" is a truly valuable resource. It's a testament to the power of faith, self-reflection, and the transformative potential of connecting with God through intentional journaling.
