Synopsis

The Transformation Journal is a life changing resource that will help you grow in your relationship with God through Scripture reading, journaling, and prayer. This daily journal introduces you to key people and stories from each book of the Bible, helping you personally encounter the truth and insight of God’s timeless word. By the end of one year, you will have traced God’s loving hand throughout the Bible’s pages, and you will deeply understand the unconditional love brought to us through God’s son, Jesus Christ.

You will find in Transformation Journal: 

• A description of each book of the Bible, including background and overview information to help you understand its “big picture” 
• A “Focus Point” plus Scripture readings for each day 
• Space for personal study of each day’s Scripture 
• Journal/reflection questions to help you further unpack the meaning of the Scripture you’ve read and the implications for your faith 
• Transformations―an original, reflective essay on the week’s Scripture 
• Full-color interior for inviting participation of the senses in communion with God

Every year, the passionate followers of Jesus who call themselves the Ginghamsburg church family invest time with God through use of the Transformation Journal. God has used this devotional tool to unite and inspire believers of all ages to ever greater mission as the hands and feet of Jesus in the world.

All proceeds from the publication of the Transformation Journal will go towards Ginghamsburg’s Sudan project, a multi-year commitment to assist those forced into war-torn refugee camps in Darfur. Ginghamsburg’s efforts have provided agricultural, child protection, educational and clean water assistance.
