[Ep 180] How to Journal Through a Book (Plus Summer Reading Recommendations)

from Journal Gently: Healing with God through quiet reflection, honest conversations, and gentle journaling · host Kari Bartkus, Spiritual Director for Christian Women

It's probably no surprise to you that I am an avid reader, averaging about one or two books a week. Not only do I read for fun, but I also get to read for work, editing and proofreading book manuscripts right before they get published.  I'm guessing that if you're listening to this episode, you like to read, too. And I've learned that books can often prompt some powerful journaling sessions with God. But how do you know which books to journal about and what to write?  Today, I've got 8 ideas to get you started, plus 10 book recommendations you might want to check out for yourself.
