Focusing
on the lives of saints
and other holy people,
Journey of the Sacred is
a series of books and
music created to guide
members of small faith
communities on their own
sacred journeys. Unlike
many other guides of this
kind, Journey of the
Sacred incorporates music
into each session with a
pre-recorded CD for
singing along to chosen
hymns and songs. Each
journey offers six
sessions consisting of
prayer, Scripture,
writings by the
particular saint or holy
person, reflection,
silence, sharing, and an
experience by a
modern-day person that
ties into the session's
theme. Each session also
allows for a going forth
in action for the group
or individual. One book
is needed for each member
of the small faith
community. One CD is
needed for the entire
group. Although created
for small group sessions,
this series also may be
used for individual
meditation. Journeys may
be used in any order.
