Download or read book Mapping My Spiritual Journey written by Steffan Carr and published by . This book was released on 2020-01-24 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God reveals Himself in many ways - through His Word (the Bible), His creation, circumstances, other people, that "still small voice", etc. Of course, the greatest way He has revealed Himself is through His Son Jesus!! The Bible is a record of His divine interaction with mankind - a historical account, a road map, and a love letter all wrapped up into one!! I believe that God wants us to have records of His dealings with us - just check out the various times altars and memorials were built by individuals in the Bible after an interaction with God. That is the purpose of this book. It is set up in a journal format to facilitate recording your relationship, interaction, milestones, etc. with God throughout your life. It is flexible and can be done daily, on an as needed basis, or based on milestones. The hope is that as you walk through this life and faithfully record your interactions with God, you will start to develop volumes of data and produce a wonderful "motion picture" of your walk with the Lord. It literally is "Mapping Your Spiritual Journey"!! It not only will be a learning experience for you, but will be a heritage for your children and your children's children as you model for them a life walking after the Lord - with all of its bumps, hills, valleys, and mountaintops!! I pray that this journal will be a valuable tool for you in that journey and legacy-building!! May God richly bless you on your journey!!!

Download or read book Mapping Out Curriculum in Your Church written by James R. Estep and published by B&H Publishing Group. This book was released on 2012-06-01 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new book from top Christian education professionals integrates biblical foundations, educational theory, and practical insights into a new curriculum formation approach for the local church. Uniquely identifying curriculum as a means of ministry through the metaphor of mapmaking, it shows how believers are lost along the spiritual journey without a study plan, having no clear destination or reliable path to follow toward maturity. Detailing the theological, educational, and pastoral dimensions that make a curriculum Christian, the text is arranged into four sections: (1) rationale for curriculum, (2) curricular foundations, (3) curricular theory, and (4) the practice of curriculum. Covering areas from children’s ministry to adult education, contributors include editors James R. Estep, Karen L. Estep, and Roger White as well as Holly Allen, Mark H. Senter III, Michael S. Wilder, Timothy Paul Jones, and Brett Robbe.
