Have you enjoyed the journey with Meg, Mara, Charissa, and Hannah? This companion guide will take you deeper into their world and give you an opportunity to try out the spiritual practices that you've seen them engage at New Hope Retreat Center. Sensible Shoes Study Guide includes twelve weeks of daily Scripture reading, prayer, and reflection questions (five days a week) that correspond to the disciplines the women practice in the book. A group discussion guide concludes each week. Engaging the lives of these characters in their spiritual journeys will offer both a window and a mirror into your own life and relationship with Christ.
"Provides a way for readers to vicariously dip into deep spiritual practices through the realistic struggles and joys of four women. . . . Sensible Shoes encourages us to communicate with God in new ways, broadening our spiritual journey one step at a time."
Jana Riess, author of Flunking Sainthood
"I have used the Sensible Shoes Study Guide multiple times now with several different women's groups over the last few years. I have been amazed how much the guide helps women dig deeply into what God is stirring in their souls. Women whohave never addressed pain or heartache are able to let the great healer Jesus come near and receive his healing through the guidance of the questions in the study guide. The book Sensible Shoes is a beautiful read. When added with the study guide it becomes a beautiful transformative work in women's lives. The women I have walked with over the years always find themselves in the characters of the book, which gives them permission to address what God needs them to process in life."
Diana Shiflett, pastor and author of Spiritual Practices in Community
"Filled with spiritual insight, truth, beauty, and discovery-not to mention deft and beautiful prose. A story to open eyes, to comfort and remind us of the importance of relationship."
