Journaling For Spiritual Growth
$16.99
A Guilt-Free, Non-Intimidating Guide to
How Journaling Will Change You
Over the centuries, journaling has emerged as one of the most consistently transformative practices, recommended by leaders across spiritual traditions, therapists, coaches, and others. Why, then, are so many people intimidated by journaling today, while others try it-only to give it up, feeling frustrated or guilty that they couldn’t maintain the practice?
Author Marc Alan Schelske experienced the same feelings of frustration and guilt. Through personal experience, research, and working with others, he has compiled proven ways to develop and maintain a wholehearted and fulfilling practice of journaling-which he’s now kept up for over twenty-five years.
Journaling for Spiritual Growth is different from other kinds of journaling. Its focus is getting to know yourself better, with an expectation of God’s presence in the process and a commitment to listen. Incorporating both ancient spiritual wisdom and current neurobiology, Marc explains how to be present to your life and hear what the Spirit is doing within you. Although based in the Christian tradition, this material has been used successfully by people from a wide variety of backgrounds and traditions.
Through a step-by-step process over six weeks, you will gradually learn and grow in the practice of journaling through empathetic instruction and prompts infused with “gracious flexibility.” The author shows you:
*What mindsets and questions are most helpful for lasting growth
*Which journaling pattern is the best fit for you
*What expectations undermine-and enhance-journaling’s effects
*How to create a sustainable habit for your individual life and temperament
As you are guided by this encouraging book, you will find journaling to be a vital and life-changing spiritual practice for you.

Wonder Switch : The Difference Between Limiting Your Life And Living Your D
$25.99Add to cartReclaim your wonder, reshape your life.
We are all born with the wonder switch in the “on” position, but somewhere along the way, our wonder was crushed. When wonder dies, we begin believing the messages telling us to grow up and get in line. In other words, we were made for wonder, but it’s been educated right out of our souls.
Yet reclaiming your wonder–and with it, your life–is within your reach. In The Wonder Switch, join professional illusionist Harris III in a journey to bring you back to magic–not the stuff of sleight of hand that he performs across world stages, but real magic: love, hope, joy, belonging, meaning, and purpose.
Cynicism is the force that actively shuts down all of these things. But wonder is the key that unlocks your permission to believe again. The secret to a vibrant life is found in reawakening your childlike wonder, helping you to stop misusing your imagination to worry, and get back to dreaming, innovating, and creating the life you were actually meant to live.
In this book, you’ll discover:
*The surprising science behind the stories we tell ourselves and how they shape our lives
*How to identify what’s crushing your wonder
*Practices for getting curious and dreaming again
*How to create better internal drama that energizes rather than drains us
*The tools you need to redesign your life
*Why worry is a misuse of your imagination, and how to kick the habitThe beginning of everything you want, Harris writes, is on the other side of this switch.
