In the spirit of a clean slate, we are kicking off this new season with a fall book club with one of our fabulous sponsors, Apologia.
Each Wednesday, beginning September 5 through November 21, The Homeschool Village will host and lead a study through Journeys of Faithfulness by Sarah Clarkson.
Sarah has been writing since her teen years and is the daughter of the well-loved Sally and Clay Clarkson. Sarah is also the author of Read for the Heart: Whole Books for WholeHearted Families.
About the book*
Ruth. Esther. May and Martha. Mary, mother of Jesus. Their stories in the Bible reveal how God can reach into the life of an ordinary girl and, through her love and obedience, reveal glimpses of His beauty and grace in this broken world. In this unique collection of inspirational stories and devotions, you will celebrate the sacrifice and courage that made each these young single women biblical heroines and models for all times. In Journeys of Faithfulness, Sarah creatively and respectfully retells their stories and explores each of their journeys along God’s path of life. In a personal devotional after each chapter, she opens her own heart and shares stories from her own journey of faith. She writes in order to challenge today’s young woman to reach higher and go deeper in her relationship with Jesus Christ by choosing well and walking faithfully with God. The book includes a Bible study with each chapter to dig deeper into the lessons of that chapter, as well as “Journey Journal” pages for recording personal thoughts and insights.
As you explore the spiritual journeys of Ruth, Mary, Esther and others, you will be encouraged to reach higher and go deeper in your relationship with Christ.
