Passages - by Amy Sloss (Paperback)

About the Book

Join Amy on her journey as the Lord shows her how to prune away bitterness, pride, control, and shame to discover listening, being content, growing in self-control, compassion, and hope.

Book Synopsis

We are all on a passage going from one place to another. After being a Christian for over twenty years, Amy felt lost in her marriage and parenting, and it was evident that something needed to change. While getting help, Amy felt God asking her to write daily about what she and her husband were learning and then take it to the Bible to understand His truth. Through these scripture passages, God started to open Amy's eyes to the impact she had on her family and how she had been deceived.

Through this study, you'll join Amy on her journey to discovering the bitterness, pride, control, shame and other branches that needed to be chopped off. With each chopping, the Lord showed her what He wanted to grow in her to replace what was not of Him--areas like listening, being content, growing in self-control, compassion, and hope.

Looking into your life and hearing from the Lord can be hard. God wants your whole heart, and as you move through the passages of your life, He will be there to faithfully guide you. Pruning you for His glory.

Review Quotes

"My wife and I are grateful to have participated in Passages. I can recommend this material for lots of reasons, but the three main ones are Amy's courage to share her story, her willingness to share with others what God has revealed to her, and her focus on scripture and worship throughout the study. There will be benefits and fruit for anyone who undertakes the study, and more blessings still for those with the faith to apply what they learn."

--Rev. Ryan Tudor, Senior Pastor, Owen Sound Alliance Church

"Few books stirred my heart and challenged my walk with the Lord like Passages did. It called me to a raw honesty not just with myself, but with those people closest to me and ultimately with my Lord. I could feel God start to change my heart as I faced the honest (and sometimes ugly) truth, and as I started to live child-like into what He called me to become. Passages is about in-reach before outreach. It's about changing me so I can live radically-the way Jesus lived a life full of grace and love-with those around me. You won't study Passages just once but multiple times!"

--Gisela Roux, child of God, wife and mother

"Passages is a powerful resource packed with Biblical teaching and relatable examples. Through raw and unabashed personal anecdotes, Amy invites us to examine ourselves as she gently guides and inspires us to seek the Lord in all we do. I came away craving a deeper understanding of who God is, and with a desire to bring my behaviour into alignment with God's Word. This study will enrich your life."

--Rhonda Clark, follower of Jesus, teacher, wife, and mother

"Amy has a gifted way of being transparent about the journey God has taken her on so far in life as a wife, a parent, and an individual. I have walked through Passages as a participant as well as a facilitator. In both roles, I've been stretched and challenged to dig deeper and reflect on unresolved past and present issues, some I wasn't even aware resided within my heart! As Amy walks us through her story, we are reminded that even though our stories and struggles are different, we are the same-sinners in need of our Saviour, Jesus Christ. Understanding why we need to be set free from the pain and hurt allows for growth and an even deeper relationship with our Creator. Such a beautiful thing!"

--Krista Cameron, mother of two and a daughter of the Most High

"I wholeheartedly endorse Passages for its profound impact on personal growth, its emphasis on authentic relationships, and its ability to draw us closer to Jesus. Through this study, I have experienced the transformative power of God's presence. Whether you come as a woman of deep faith or someone searching for more authentic connections, this study will undoubtedly bless you. It opens doors to meaningful relationships within a small group, and it provides the fertile ground for God to work in your life, leading you to a deeper understanding of His love and purpose for you."

--Ange Torrie, sister in Christ

"I took Amy Sloss' course a couple of years ago. It was a great time of connecting and healing for me and those in the group session. I chose to draw pictures during the journaling for homework and felt connected to Jesus. I would highly recommend this study. It has improved my relationships with both family and friends. I think you'll like it too."
