Women of the ELCA
Author Debra Farrington has
several books about transition and discernment. Her helpful resource, Listening
to God: A Guide to Discernment, written specifically
for Women of the ELCA, is a guide to discerning what God's plan
is for each of us. This six-part study helps
readers recognize how, with discernment, we can
hear God calling us to new action.
As part of this process,
Farrington
looks at four areas that help us to be better listeners: prayer, attention, study, and community.
This is a great exercise to do with a small group, whether
it is with your peers or a women's group.
Order this resource.
Be refreshed. Be inspired. Be connected!
