My Thoughts:
This is a beautiful book, and is challenging me to consider Proverbs and the truths of the book in an entirely new way. The author give correlating scripture to consider as you journal through the proverb, and many times asks that you re-write it in your own words. This is a powerful tool for me personally, because I'm literally writing out what I "hear" God speaking to me through the Scripture.
Now, part of this journal provides space for remembrances of your own faith journey. While this is healing and beneficial to do for myself, I'm not sure I'd share the nitty-gritty details with someone coming along behind me on this journey of faith. It is entirely possible that I'm a little TOO literal in my answers, but once I see it on paper, I become a bit hesitant to share it with someone else. This may change as I make my way through, but I'm a bit on the fence with this right now....at least if I'm the one passing it on!
The thought has occurred to me that perhaps I need to gift this to some mature Christians that I'd like to receive insight from! :) My first thoughts were to share this with my children, but then I hit this wall of privacy in my own mind and I wonder how much of my story to share. Proverbs deals with some very personal issues. That is good for me to consider, but sharing it? I don't know.
So, this a GREAT journal!! But for now, this is between me and God. And that may be all it needs to be. I'd encourage you to check it out! It would be quite a treasure to receive it back filled with wisdom from a mature Christian you admire. This is really a brilliant, thought-provoking journal whether you keep it as a reminder of your own faith journey, or if you choose to share it.
