Walking with Grace

About this book

In Walking with Grace, authors Dori Barber and Kenda McVeigh offer a six-week guide to building a life oriented around God's presence. This isn't about adding more obligations to an already-full schedule-it's about discovering the pathways where God meets you and learning to abide there. Through biblical teaching, personal reflection, and group discussion, you'll explore what it means to stay close to God through honest prayer, meaningful engagement with Scripture, intentional fasting, and acts of mercy. These aren't techniques to master or boxes to check. They're the architecture of a life built on presence, not performance. Whether you're starting fresh or deepening an existing practice, this study shows you how to create space for God in the rhythms of everyday life.Over six weeks, you'll explore: What it means to abide - moving beyond the busyness of doing for God into the quiet power of being with GodHow to recognize God's presence - learning to see where He's already at work in your everyday lifeHow prayer becomes real conversation - moving past formulas into honest dialogue about what's good, what hurts, and where you need helpHow Scripture speaks into daily life - not as ancient text to study, but as living words that address your actual circumstancesHow fasting creates space - understanding what it means to set aside something good to make room for something betterHow mercy extends grace - discovering that acts of love and justice aren't separate from spiritual life-they're central to itThis study is a practical companion to Growing in Grace, moving from theological foundation to daily practice. You'll learn that staying close to God isn't about perfecting a routine-it's about building a life where connection becomes as natural as breathing.Each session includes Scripture reading, reflection questions, discussion prompts, and creative activities designed to help you move from concept to practice. This isn't theory. It's a roadmap for actually living the grace-centered life that Growing in Grace describes.
