Joyful Journey: Listening to Immanuel by Sungshim Loppnow, Anna Kang, John Loppnow

informative reflective relaxing fast-paced

4.5

Over the past several years, I have been listening to podcasts and reading books about attachment and healing through story. Anytime these topics are engaged with starting from biblical worldview and in a God honoring way, I am delighted. 

I was alerted to Joyful Journey and Immanuel Journaling by a podcast. And I’m so grateful to know about it. Before reading the book I practiced IJ three times using a pdf from joyful journaling.com and experienced the benefits firsthand. IJ had only been better after reading the book. Now I understand more of the origin story, know the reasons why it works with the human brain, and how to apply IJ in different settings. 

The authors do a fabulous job of organizing the content, sharing real examples, and connecting the tool/process to the main things - experiencing the presence of God and having deeper connection with God and others. I highly recommend this book and Immanuel Journaling.
