Fifteen Real-Life Experiences

Life is full of great experiences. But what have you learned frombthem? Are they helping you become the person you want to be? Are any preventing you from accomplishing your dreams?


James Quinn uses these provocative questions to guide us through fifteen universal life experiences:


Birth Family Love Faith Friendship Service Envy Anger Greed Fear Forgiveness Kindness Joy Hope Death


These life experiences help you discover new strengths about yourself that may surprise, or even, shock you.


Life experiences are past, present, and future, but regardless of when they occur, they can and do change our lives. The challenge is to use our experiences to grow in healthy ways.


Fifteen Real-Life Experiences: A Journey in Christian Living provides down-to-earth advice on how we can use our experiences to guide us in our Christian faith.


Book includes questions and action plans for individual and group reflection.
