Several years ago, I met Dean Trune at a Christ In Youth conference. He spoke to the teens at that conference about spiritual disciplines, and especially the discipline of journaling.
I have put much of what I learned from him into practice in my own life with tremendous effect. His insights about journaling just seemed to make sense in my own thinking, and I have found them to be helpful in making my own habit of journaling much more impactful.
Since that first encounter with Dean, I have run into him a few times at different conferences and events. The last time I saw him, I picked up his book, The Path Toward Passion.
In this book, Dean outlines nine simple disciplines that can help us develop a greater passion for Jesus in our lives.One of these disciplines is journaling. Others include Bible reading, study, and memorization, praying, listening, fasting and worship. Each of these disciplines are laid out in simple, easy to read chapters, and can help you pursue a greater level of passion in your own life as you follow Jesus.
This is a short and simple book to read, but is proving to be a life-changing book for me. There isn’t really anything new to me in here, but the reminders it brings to light are well worth the time it takes to read it.
I highly recommend you pick up a copy of The Path Toward Passion. You won’t regret it. You can find it on Amazon.
