After the release of Boston Promises: An Interactive Memoir, many readers desired to continue revisiting the end-of-chapter sections for continued personal growth and encounters with God. The Guide was created to repackage these sections, which include the Takeaways, Questions, and Prayers, from the memoir and transform them into something more compact, like a travel-sized companion to your journal.
Additionally, readers shared a desire for a small group setting to deeper explore these questions and takeaways with Spiritual Formation in mind. Thus, this guide was written for two purposes:
-
To create a separate book of only the Takeaways, Questions, and Prayers from the memoir to journal through in each new season, and
-
To offer clear instructions on how to facilitate Group Spiritual Direction gatherings for those who want to explore these questions over a six-week period in community with Spiritual Formation in mind.
As a special feature, this guide includes two brand new listening practices that will guide you to grow in meditating on Scripture. From cover to cover, The Guide was created for you to carry into quiet spaces for journaling, gatherings with your close friends, or at the table with your Bible open. While reading and rereading through The Guide, remain expectant of all the ways Jillene equips you for deeper discovery, and all the moments the Lord encounters you to teach you more about yourself and others.
Boston Promises is an interactive memoir that will take you through Jillene’s deeply healing and downright extravagant six-month adventure of dialoguing with God in the bountiful city of Boston, Massachusetts. What’s an interactive memoir? Well, it’s a memoir that invites you to engage in Jillene’s journey of transformation through various practices rooted in spiritual formation, and then guides you through applying new discoveries to your own story. Through journal questions (to open your mind) and prayers (to soften your spirit), you’re encouraged to prayerfully ponder what God is doing in the depths of your heart, and to apply deep truths to your own life circumstances. But, if you just want to read it as a memoir, you can do that, too! Regardless, your reading experience will leave you inspired by how Jillene models the ways in which spiritual formation can bring deeper revelation on who God is and how He works in your daily life.
