Sarah Stockton's A Pen and a Path: Writing as a Spiritual Practice provides a wealth of material for individual journal writers and for groups. The author's five-step exercises gently invite readers to explore their personal spirituality at deeper levels than other personal writing books that I've read do. This significant book will become a well-loved writing classic.

Sarah Stockton's "A Pen and a Path: Writing as a Spiritual Practice" takes the reader on an inspiring journey indeed. With meaningful anecdotes, wise suggestions, and a broad spectrum of reflective exercises, Stockton guides readers through the exploration of every landscape of human life. With this book as a touchstone, one cannot help but discover--to use the author's words--"gifts of deeper insight, the words we need, and the courage we need to stay the course and seek the truth."

This book is a practical and helpful guide to exploring and deeping one's faith through writing. It takes you step by step through questions that open up new areas of thought. By writing down my ansewrs to the questions, I found awareness I didn't know I had. I used it alone, but I can see how it could be good for a small group sharing their search with each other.

This is a wonderful book with which to take a journey, especially if you don't have any experience in writing a journal. The instructions really help you dig deep within yourself and listen for the Lord to reply. I bought it based on another review and am glad I did.
