Living Freely and Lightly: A Guided Journal: Creative Practices to Explore Your Abundant Life with Jesus

I liked the book and the journal. Beautiful and thoughtful, prayerful journal prompts.

Emily Lex’s book, Freely and Lightly, was a turning point book that changed my life. Arriving right at a time when I was processing and learning so much about my walk with Jesus, Freely and Lightly put into words all the things I was pondering and shed light on my path to freedom with Christ. As I read it, I remembered thinking, “If only I could have a journal of this content…the book is just too beautiful to mark up with my notes and thoughts….” Enter in Emily’s newest release, Living Freely and Lightly. This guided experience to accompany the book is just perfect! It feels like a “choose your own adventure” and heartfelt life manual all in one. With places to jot and note feelings, checklists to process specifically and quickly, and quirky borders to contain wonderings, Living Freely and Lightly is just as beautiful as its companion, and invites the reader to write and jot and think deeply. It quite literally combines all my favorite things…scripture, watercolor, and reflection. I just adore it! Treat yourself to the very best soul care and dive into Living Freely and Lightly today.

This was given as a gift and my niece really loves it.

I adore everything Emily has ever produced! She writes like you are sitting & having a chat with her over coffee. An instant connection! I bought her book Freely & Lightly twice. One for me & one for my daughter who immediately fell in love with it too. So when she came out with this guided journal, I just knew I had to have it!! Upon opening it up I was drawn to the page that speaks of recover. For many personal reasons “she” spoke to my soul to my needs. I can’t wait to dive in further. Even the feel of this journal is amazing. It feels like a beautifully painted cloth, not like most paperbacks at all!! Her artwork has always drawn me in. I’ve purchased her watercolor books & even workshops. She is a true sister in Christ sharing her gifts!! Oh, and I’ve purchased for my granddaughter, Emily’s book Twirl & it was loved from the get go. Such a beautiful book!! I highly recommend any of Emily’s work & this journal is a true gift!!

This book is written in a way to give me opportunities to reflect on the state my life and heart. How am I doing in my relationship with Jesus? How often do I take the time to slow down enough to check in with God personally and have him show me what my life looks like from his view? This journal is a great tool to help me take that focused time. It is beautifully illustrated and written. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to deepen their sense of purpose and refocus their life on Christ.

Life changing book - helped me better know the Lord and His plan for my life.

I just received this journal and I'm so excited about it. It is beautiful and the prompts are thought provoking. I can tell this will be a great catalyst to help me examine my walk with Jesus. I love the fabric feel of the cover and the artwork is beautiful. Lots of room on the pages for writing. A great companion to Freely and Lightly but I think it could work well on its own too. :)

I loved her book, pFreely and Lightly. God speaking to her that He would show her who He was verses who she is was a shift that we all need. So I was hoping that the journal would be more about seeking God. Most of it is finding out who I am. Honestly, I have spent plenty of time finding out what I want. I want more God. I will follow her lead in reading through the gospels with a journal. I want to know God better.
