Discovering Our Spiritual Identity: Practices for God's Beloved

Each chapter in this workbook by Trevor Hudson is peppered with "holy experiments," simple practices that bring us into God's presence and help us experience life as his beloved.

• hearing and speaking with God
• growing in spiritual friendship
• practicing stewardship of our work and play
• learning discernment
