The author directs us in recording spiritual experiences that serve several purposes: 1. **Personal Reflection:** Keeping a record allows individuals to reflect on their spiritual journey. It provides an opportunity to revisit and contemplate experiences, gaining deeper insights into personal growth and development. 2. **Understanding Patterns:** By documenting spiritual experiences, individuals may identify patterns or recurring themes. This can help in understanding the nature of one's spiritual journey and the lessons or messages that may be present. 3. **Guidance and Direction:** Recorded experiences can serve as a guide for future decisions or actions. Insights gained from spiritual moments may provide clarity on life choices and direction. 4. **Sharing with Others:** Some individuals find value in sharing their spiritual experiences with others. It can be a source of inspiration or comfort for those going through similar situations or seeking guidance on their own spiritual paths. 5. **Memory Preservation:** Spiritual experiences are often deeply personal and meaningful. Recording them ensures that these moments are preserved for future generations or for personal recollection, helping individuals maintain a connection to their spiritual history. 6. **Tracking Growth:** Over time, reviewing recorded experiences allows individuals to track their spiritual growth. It can be a source of motivation, showing how far one has come on their journey. It's important to note that the decision to record spiritual experiences is a personal one, and not everyone may choose to do so. Some individuals may prefer to internalize and reflect on their experiences without external documentation. I received and Advanced Reader Copy of this book, but all opinions are my own

At an early age I started to keep a journal, as I've gotten older I have slacked off in my efforts. This book has given me new inspiration. Through stories, starter prompts, and even forms, the author provides tools to help us in our efforts to record spiritual experiences. A wonderful book.

I received an ARC (Advanced Reader Copy) from the publisher however the opinions are my own.

Wow! What a beautiful book. It's purpose is to help the reader draw closer to God by recognizing His hand and word (through personal revelational) in their life and it definitely delivers! I especially enjoyed the workbook feel to this book mingled with uplifting, easy-to-read writing. I recieved and advanced copy of "Bring Forth Your Record" but these opinions are my own.
