<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>The novel <em>Sensible Shoes</em> is meant to bring spiritual transformation in community. This leader's guide offers guidance for inviting participants into either a twelve-week small group experience through the study guide or a retreat based on the practices in the book. You'll receive facilitating tips and sample retreat schedules plus creative ideas from past group leaders.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p> <strong> <em>Sensible Shoes</em> is an unusual novel, blending a fictional story with nonfiction teaching elements.</strong> Some readers view it only as a story of four characters on a journey. Others say yes to a deeper level of reading, embracing the opportunity to take a sacred journey along with the characters, by opening themselves to the Spirit's work and attending to God's invitations. The <em>Sensible Shoes Leader's Guide</em> offers two ways to invite readers into a deeper journey: first, there are resources here for a twelve-week small group experience through the <em>Sensible Shoes Study Guide</em>. Each week you'll be provided with a few prayer prompts for your work as a leader, tips for facilitating the group, and behind-the-scenes information about the characters and their journeys that can be used as opening materials for your sessions. The second set of resources in this guide relates to leading a retreat based on <em>Sensible Shoes</em>. After years of creating and speaking at Sensible Shoes Retreats, spiritual director Sharon Brown offers here content to help you design the ideal space for your context as you gather people in longer sessions to experience this material. In addition to one-day, weekend, and online program outlines, there are many creative ideas from leaders of groups who have used <em>Sensible Shoes</em> for retreats over the years. <em>Sensible Shoes</em> was written for the purpose of bringing God's healing and spiritual transformation into the lives of readers traveling in community. Is there an invitation here for you to bring this message to your community? Also available: <em>Sensible Shoes Leader Kit</em> and <em>Sensible Shoes Participant Kit</em>, with everything you need for a small group or retreat experience.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>I have used the <em>Sensible Shoes Study Guide</em>, and each time I have led a group I have grown closer to God through engaging with the reflections. It is very easy to use as a leader. Group members frequently commented, 'How does Sharon know the exact question that I need to be asked today? It feels like I am having one-on-one spiritual direction!' Another person said, 'After decades of attending women's groups and small group Bible studies, finally a study that has got to my heart, not just full of fluffy questions to discuss.' The weekly group session notes are designed so anyone can join in, even if life got in the way and a group member didn't do any of the weekly personal reflections--this makes it very accessible and allowed me as a leader to journey with everyone, no matter where they were.</p>--Rachel in Christchurch, New Zealand<br>
