Meet Meg, Mara, Charissa and Hannah.  Each has past baggage, current dilemmas and future worries.   They meet at Sacred Journey, a 6-session retreat, to discover their spiritual journey.  The four women are grouped together at the retreat and named themselves ‘Sensible Shoes’.   Join this Bookmarks series and journey with the women as they discover more deeply themselves, God and their spiritual journey.  Sensible Shoes is the first of a series of 4 books that follow these women as they continue to unpack their spiritual journey.  Their journeys easily relate to our lives.  This series is an opportunity to unpack your own spiritual journey and learn ways to deepen your life with God, ourselves and others.

The book as well as the Sensible Shoes Study Guide are necessary for this series.  The book can be found on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Thrift Books. There will be small and large group discussions.
