The prayer of relinquishment had a big impact in my life during our years of infertility.Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08751406235805767248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3981233528365319012.post-44612120578436558572010-01-28T10:53:01.753+00:002010-01-28T10:53:01.753+00:00thank you for all your comments, lovely to meet yo...thank you for all your comments, lovely to meet you, Debbie, Lisa, Karelin, Laura and Heather.<br /><br />Susanne, I love the idea of an on-line group study - have never done anything like it before though - so don't really know what it would entail........Jane D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02571647840432446028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3981233528365319012.post-77598304689372910152010-01-28T01:53:17.888+00:002010-01-28T01:53:17.888+00:00I'm so glad that you got so much out of Richar...I'm so glad that you got so much out of Richard Foster's book. I've read it also. I had to laugh when you wrote about folding the page corners. I have a habit of doing that too. It's a great way to find that place that really spoke to you. Keep on reading and praying.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />DebbieDebbie Petrashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08235978883396499354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3981233528365319012.post-28827228540041784142010-01-28T00:57:30.553+00:002010-01-28T00:57:30.553+00:00I have this book, too!

Thanks for reminding me how good it is. And how good our Father is to always listen to us pray.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />LisaLisa notes...http://lisanotes.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3981233528365319012.post-56694768196046706002010-01-27T22:27:49.347+00:002010-01-27T22:27:49.347+00:00This book has been on my shelf, unread, for quite ...This book has been on my shelf, unread, for quite awhile.

I hope that I'll some day have the time to read it cover to cover. Thanks so much for the lovely overview -- I can't wait to read it myself.<br /><br />My favorite Lenten read is Foster's Devotional Classics. I believe that there are 40 readings (although not intended for Lent) of writers such as Saint John of the Cross, Saint Therese, Watchman Nee, Dallas Willard, CS Lewis, Saint Julian of Norwich -- saints ancient and modern, with study questions at the end of each reading. I just got the idea of doing this study as an online group.

I put my own footnotes in my books. Usually in the back, with a 'link'(number or letter) in the back correlating to the number on the page. I used to turn down corners(still do) but then every page, it seems some times is turned down! ha, in a really good book. <br />I do a combination, but I never hesitate to write in books. I teach little children about writing in their Bibles that we use great care and only when we are old enough to write things that will help us remember what God wants for us to learn. <br />I have found to that I write in fiction books too. Often there are numerous references to good learning material there too, <br />Thanks for the reference to Foster's book. Sounds excellent! I love his 'Celebration of Discipline' & 'the Challenge of Discipline'. Have never read 'prayer'. <br />have a blessed day- Laura Laura at By the Bushelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01756969603697972860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3981233528365319012.post-37417171421048475392010-01-27T14:14:40.217+00:002010-01-27T14:14:40.217+00:00Great Post!Great Post!Heather of Swallowing A Moosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16440035339540605695noreply@blogger.com
