The Wide Open Spaces of God: A Journey With God Through the Landscapes of Life

For individuals, small groups, and retreats

Do you feel lost in the desert?
Are you resting in life’s green pastures?
Do you long for a mountaintop experience?

In this inspiring book, Beth Booram helps us to identify the landscapes of our lives—periods when our spiritual surroundings shift, and we find ourselves relating to God and the world in a different way. She gives us language for framing our experiences and talking about the varied, surprising, confusing, rewarding, and dissonant intervals of our spiritual lives.

Each chapter contains a description of the landscape, an overview of the biblical story and how it relates to that landscape, life skills we develop as we travel through this particular terrain, and personal stories from others who have traversed the landscape.

Beth Booram takes a very creative and unique approach to helping people understand the stages of their lives and how those stages reflect our relationship with God.

Beth Booram speaks from the heart and shares stories that are applicable to all. Her material is relevant to women today, and her knowledge of Scripture is impeccable.

Beth provides a safe and gentle environment where people are able to explore the heart of God, as well as the intricacies of their own hearts.
