Journaling with Jesus
Carol's book, Journaling with Jesus, How to Draw Closer to God, was inspired by Carol's own experiences as well as others who have found the spiritual discipline can become habit-forming. Keeping a prayer journal is one way to stay focused on growing your personal relationship with your Creator. Journaling your prayers to Him can help change you from knowing about God into someone who experiences God in a deeper way.
What readers are saying about Journaling with Jesus
Some might choose to read Journaling with Jesus in one sitting. I found taking this book in chunks or small bites works quite well. It gives the reader time to ponder the various Scriptures given and ideas offered. No matter which way you choose to experience this book, do read it. It is well worth the time invested.
