  • An ECPA 2003 Gold Medallion Finalist
  • We need companions on our spiritual journey. The modern world has taught us to value autonomy and individualism. Our churches often see spirituality as personal and private. But we cannot go long in our Christian pilgrimage before realizing that isolation leads to spiritual barrenness. We soon discover that our souls long for accompaniment, intimacy and spiritual friendship. As a result, many Christians today are rediscovering the ancient practice of spiritual direction. In this inviting guide, David G. Benner introduces readers to the riches of spiritual friendship and direction, explaining what they are and how they are practiced. Spiritual direction moves beyond mere moral lifestyle accountability and goes deeper than popular notions of mentoring or discipling. Through prayerful, guided attunement to God's activity, sacred companions provide care for the soul. If we are to experience significant spiritual formation and growth, our souls must be nurtured through spiritual companions. Benner, well-accustomed to God's work through relationships, models the kind of traveling companion who can move us toward deeper intimacy with God.

    Doesn't Cover the Whole Book
    Format: Paperback
    Writing this review because I wished I'd seen more caution on this when I was purchasing. This study is meant to be paired with the Captivating book. However, it doesn't have you read the entire Captivating book. It has you jump around the book in this order: Chapter 2, 4, 6, 5, 8, and 12. You don't actually read chapters 1, 3, 7, 9, 10, or 11. I found that very confusing. This study itself has you read the chapters suggested for each session and then there are personal reflection questions each day until you get together with your group to discuss. However, the questions and reading that are to be done in quiet time during the week are copy and pasted, word for word, text from the chapter(s) you read the week before. Not only do you read the chapter one week, but then you discuss it at group, and then you read it again in this study book. It's very repetitive. It's unfortunate because this book has a lot of solid and wonderful things to offer but the study is laid out horribly and in a very confusing way, and you're not even reading the full Captivating book when you follow the guide! I'd recommend the Captivating Book but can't say that I'd recommend this study purely because of how it's laid out and repetitive.

    Kitchen accessory holder
    Color: Black
    This is a black dishcloth and accessory holder made of steel. It has a wire bin with an angled bottom plate to allow water to run off into the sink rather than pool (a plus!) It has a bar that clips on and hangs across the front to hold our dishcloth. We put a hand soap dispenser in along with sponges and a scrubbing pad. It does come with a clear plastic sticky strip with molded catches if you want to hang it in the sink, but we set ours on the top of the sink. Works well and doesn't move around or fall. A nice kitchen gadget.

    Perfect sink organizer, keeps everything dry and clean
    Color: Black
    I honestly didn’t realize how much I needed this until I got it. My sink area used to always look messy with wet sponges, soap bottles, and water all over the counter. This sink caddy completely fixed that. It keeps everything in one place — my dish soap, spray, sponge, and even a towel — and allows everything to dry quickly instead of staying wet. I also like that it’s sturdy and doesn’t take up too much space. It makes my kitchen look more organized and clean without any effort.

    Cute addition!
    Color: Black
    As advertised. Good size for my sink area. Room for dish soap, hand soap pump and kitchen sponge. A place to hang my kitchen wash cloth too.
