Book Excerpt:

Journal Questions:

1. If you knew you were going to die, how would you start to live your life differently? What areas of your life would you make changes too? How would you love yourself and others differently?

2. What areas of your life do you need forgiveness into toward yourself and others?

3. What scares you about taking accountability for yourself?

 

Bible verses to meditate on for accountability:

1. Romans 4:12, “So then each of you will give account of himself to God.”

2. 1 Thessalonians 5:11, “Therefore, encourage one another and build another up just as you are doing.”

3. Proverbs 12:15, “The way of the fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice.”

 

Review:

“This journal is what you make of it. It is a simple tool, but powerful…If you want to keep taking a shotgun approach to your life and relationships, this journal is not for you. But if you prefer a rifle, pick up the journal and make it your own. Focus, take aim, breath, relax, and take your shot.”

Andrew “Roo” Burnett. Pastor, Celebration Church, Omaha
