Choose Life Journal

There is an old saying, "When the student is ready, the teacher will appear." The same is true for a mentor.

In 2005 I found the book, The Divine Mentor by Wayne Cordeiro. I can say that as a student of the Word, I was ready, hungry, and thirsty. I have faithfully applied his plan for over eighteen years.

About year fifteen the Holy Spirit began to prompt me to develop my own system. I changed the acronym because prayer is so central to a disciple's life and growth. I added elements of music (central to my worship of God), scripture memorization (central to a biblical worldview and spiritual maturation), and an overview of each book of the bible (linked to the Bible Project).

I encourage you to make the transition from a devotional lifestyle to a journaling lifestyle. What is the difference between the two? One is a vicarious lifestyle, the other requires digging, effort, and personal engagement with the Holy Spirit. One is a compilation of someone's thoughts about a text. The other is a one on one between you and the Holy Spirit. I hope you will choose mentorship by The Divine (John 16:13).

In addition to the book which you hold in your hand, The Choose Life Journal has its own phone app! So, in the palm of your hand, you can access our daily journal, or you may subscribe to The Choose Life Journal and receive it daily via email. The choice is yours, app, or email, or both. This is engagement made easy.

I recommend the Choose Life Journal plan because the process has been so transformational in my life. The action statement is the secret sauce hidden in, James 1:22, "Be doers of the word!" Journaling with an action statement has activated my faith and transformed my life! I guarantee, it will transform your life too!
