This is a companion workbook to the book, "The Sacred Romance" by Eldredge and Curtis. I've chosen to list this one rather than the book itself because it is the workbook that makes the book so deeply meaningful. There are lists of movies, books and music to listen to with every chapter of the book. I didn't always listen to the music but I watched every film and found them very supportive of the book's concepts. Don't shortchange yourself by only reading the book - do the workbook and journal along with it!
I read "The Sacred Romance" on my own. Then, several years later, I asked a friend of mine to co-lead a discussion group to work through this book and journal together. It was awesome! We had some really great discussions and I discovered even more and dug deeper working through the journal on my own, preparing for group. Wow. This book is in my top 5 books that has changed my life and the journal is just as good.
Again, read it on a recommendation and I'm glad I did. It was the perfect book to get me to understand God's desire for me to be close to him. I have been meaning to read it again, but there are so many other books that I also want to read. Someday...
