Journaling for Spiritual Growth: Six Weeks to Build a Habit That Fosters Spiritual and Emotional Maturity

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. 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; and how to create a sustainable habit for your individual life and temperament.
