3 Inspiring Devotional/Journaling Books To Deepen Your Spiritual Life
Are you looking for ways to live a more meaningful and inspiring life?
Are you a spiritual seeker who wants to live out your faith in ways that impact the world around you?
Do you enjoy reflecting on the deeper things in life?
If so, I’d like to share three amazing books that have the potential to transform your spiritual life!
Live Inspired, Live Inspired Book 2, and Bounce – Exploring The Places Where God Is are a series of unique, interactive devotionals / journals, published by Barefoot Ministries, that were written for students – but can be used and enjoyed by individuals of all ages – to help you grow in and live out your faith.
Live Inspired & Live Inspired Book 2 – Book Reviews
Live Inspired and Live Inspired Book 2 are interactive books that are “more than a devotional”. Each book contains a 90-day challenge for you to live inspired and to love, care, and see people as Jesus did. To help you on your journey, each of these books is filled with a series of out-of-the-box exercises that will appeal to your creative senses and engage your heart and your mind!
As the authors write:
This is your journal… Draw outside the lines.

Bounce – Exploring The Places Where God Is – Book Review
Bounce – Exploring The Places Where God Is by Chris Folmsbee will appeal to your intellectual side. This book contains a series of fascinating features and questions that challenge you to stretch your mind and imagination on a wide range of topics. The premise behind this book is that God doesn’t always move in an orderly fashion, so why should your devotional experience with God be self contained?
Bounce was created to help you explore the places where God leads you – in your own rhythm! As the author states:
This book has no rules of engagement. No table of contents. No chapters. No time frame.
Whether you choose to read randomly or read from cover to cover, every page in this book will feed your mind and your spirit!
These three books will deepen your spiritual connection to God and make a fabulous addition to your devotional and journaling book collection. I’m thrilled to be able to share the collection with one lucky Create With Joy reader in the Giveaway that follows!
I rate each of these books book 5 out of 5 stars.

Hi Tanya,
These awesome books have not received the publicity they deserve – I’m SO thrilled the publisher invited me to help spread the word!
Best of luck to you – one reader is going to be VERY happy when their name comes up on my Rafflecopter in a few weeks! 🙂
I’m interested in all 3 but the Bounce one sounds fun. I love the idea of exploring where God is and where He is leading me. We’ve been in a season of change in our lives lately and this book sounds like it would help me refocus on where God wants me to be and give me some better clarity and direction.
