Barefoot Study Guide

by Sharon Garlough Brown

The journeys of Hannah, Meg, Charissa, and Mara take unexpected turns in Barefoot, the third book of the Sensible Shoes series. In this study guide author Sharon Garlough Brown has crafted a practical resource to help you process the characters' stories and explore the novel's spiritual formation themes more deeply. You'll find twelve weeks of daily Scripture readings, reflection questions, and invitations to prayer, with weekly discussion questions and practices for groups to do together. Each week also features a list of spiritual disciplines used by the characters that you can incorporate into your own life with God. Individually or with a group, as you walk with the women of Sensible Shoes on holy ground, you'll be invited to encounter God in significant new ways.

This is an absolutely fantastic study guide to go along side the sensible shoes series! Thank you Sharon for testing my limits and making me really think about important topics.

I absolutely love this series of books. I will have to reread this for the spiritual wealth in it. I read it quickly to learn about the four female protagonists. I have the fourth and last [sigh!] book in the series.
