So often we find ourselves struggling to stay consistent, prioritize or even begin spending uninterrupted, intentional time with God. In our consumerist culture of instant gratification and a DIY faith, Mary Carmen Englert’s Seven Pathways: Ancient Practices for a Deeper Relationship with God provides a much-needed refuge and practical guidance to help establish a deeper connection with God.
This workbook compliments her book, Seven Pathways: Ancient Practices for Deeper Relationship with God to give you a roadmap in this one-of-a-kind Bible study plan to discover seven spiritual pathways—thanksgiving, silence, confession, song, prayer, Bible study, and scripture meditation—that have stood the test of time, guiding countless seekers into a deeper relationship with God. The Seven Pathways workbook is designed for individuals and small groups, including a facilitator's guide. In addition to experiencing the workbook version of Seven Pathways: Journey through the Gospel of John, we have created a digital experience on our website at www.sevenpathways.com including song links and where you can progress at your own pace.
The guide requires minimal preparation, as most of it is done during your own personal five day study each week. It includes sections for each week: prompts, summary of reading for the week, discussion questions, songs, and prayer topics to generate meaningful discussions. The workbook covers six weeks, with the sixth week serving as a conclusion to the journey and allowing for personalization based on the group's needs. While there is a general template, it can be adjusted to accommodate the group's preferences and dynamics.
Our unique approach removes the overwhelming barriers to spiritual growth, providing a daily guided journey that integrates these practices seamlessly into your life. Prepare to be shepherded back into stride with God's voice, experiencing purpose, healing, and peace within your heart and mind. It is our hope that through the Seven Pathways, you will find joy, restoration, and a profound connection with Christ. Get ready to embark on this transformative voyage, starting with the Gospel of John, and let us accompany you as your trusted mentor, guiding you through the intricate tapestry of the Bible.
