An Awesome Journey

The Lenton season is one that always draws me closer to my Lord and Savior, and each year I feel called to intentionally journey into a deeper relationship with Christ. This year, I had the awesome experience of taking Marty Bullis' "Passionate Journey" and never have I been so blessed. The combination of the readings, reflections, bidding prayer and journaling took me to and through the darkness of Good Friday and deposited me into the perfect Light of Easter. Can't wait for the Advent version!

Happily surprised more than once

It is Easter morning and I have just finished my walk through Lent with The Passionate Journey, by Marty Bullis. It was the kind of walk that allowed me to stop numerous times and examine aspects of the Lenten experience more closely. The discussion of the Trinity on Day 10 held some brand new insights for me. I also enjoyed his use of The Message by Eugene Peterson. I plan to use this study again next year.

Solid Food, Not Milk

Hooray! This is the kind of devotional book that doesn't do all the work for you -- a rare thing in the world of devotional books. The bidding prayer and journalling pages promote first-hand engagement with the Bible passages, as well as with the author's meditations. In other words, "The Passionate Journey" has helped me move beyond its author to connect with God, which is something I value but seldom experience with most devotional books. This book insists that we do something important: read the passion narratives in a slowed-down, reflective way. Bullis helps me notice the details of our redemption and ponder them.

The Passionate Journey

My wife and I studied this book as part of a small group with the author. It was done over the period of Lent and was very informative. I personally learned much from it, both about Jesus and myself. I enjoyed the author's commentary and his style of writing. I found myself revitalized and eager to learn more. I've done other small group studies and feel that this is one of the best. The intention is to get the reader involved and this book certainly did that for me.
