Understanding My Life's Journey

This book is a guide for helping adults to complete and share a Life Map project in a supportive group. I got connected with this ancient practice as director of a seminary program helping over a hundred adults complete and share a Life Map with their introductory spiritual formation class. This project was often viewed as their best learning experience. When Bethel University closed our East coast center, I helped fifty more adult leaders complete this transformative project for the New England Christian Study Center. I was most fortunate to be able to receive a Doctor in Ministry degree with Bethel University, investing five years of research on this signal practice inaugurated by Saint Augustine with the publication of his seminal Confessions in 397 AD. Now I am leading groups of adults for my church and community interested in exploring their legacy via a Life Map project. My guide begins with the church crisis that introduced me to Life Mapping, which helped me navigate a very difficult transition at midlife. The guide then leads an adult through reflection and journaling to complete and share their project with a supportive group, five steps completing this important life skill.
