“A
Pen and A Path is more
than a guided workbook for spiritual writing. It’s
an experience of spiritual direction. Sarah Stockton’s
gift as a director is in asking those gentle, open-ended
questions that take us to our spiritual depths. Pull out
your journal, electronic file or a simple pad of paper, take
a deep breath and give yourself permission to explore the
spiritual practice of writing by working slowly and appreciatively
through this book.”
—Teresa Blythe, spiritual director,
conference and retreat facilitator, and co-author of Meeting God in Virtual Reality: Using Spiritual
Practices with Media “Sarah Stockton’s
A Pen and a Path: Writing as a Spiritual Practice provides
a wealth of material for
individual journal writers and for groups. Her five-step
exercises invite readers to explore their personal spirituality
at deeper levels than other personal writing books. This
significant book will become a well-loved journal writing
classic.”
—Kay Marie Porterfield, author,
poet, teacher, creativity coach, and workshop leader “Sarah
Stockton has been teaching people to use writing as a tool
for spiritual growth for years. A Pen and a Path is a sound guide to exploring one's attitudes about self,
God, relationships and other significant aspects of life.”
—Philip St. Romain, D. Min.,
author of Caring for the Self,
Caring for the Soul “Sarah
Stockton's A Pen and a Path: Writing as a Spiritual
Practice takes the reader on an inspiring journey indeed.
With meaningful anecdotes, wise suggestions, and a broad
spectrum of reflective exercises, Stockton guides readers
through the exploration of every landscape of human life.
With this book as a touchstone, one cannot help but discover—to
use the author's words—‘gifts of deeper insight,
the words we need, and the courage we need to stay the course and
seek the truth.’”
—Maggie Oman Shannon, spiritual
director and author of Prayers
for Healing, The Way We Pray, and One God, Shared Hope
