API TWO The First Two Books

Are you planning to attend API TWO, the second year of curriculum of Awakenings Prayer Institute?  If so, we recommend that you check out the book list from the previous post.  Most of these can be purchased second hand online for just a few dollars and many are available at your local library. 

This is one of two books we will begin reading in API TWO.

Soul Shaping is a guide to the amazing journey of spiritual transformation. It is anchored in Scripture and filled with practical exercises designed for individual, small group or class use. These pages contain the challenge to look backward and forward, inward and outward, remember the past and dream for the future. Soul Shaping is an invitation to see yourself as you really are and imagine who you can become, an opportunity to explore the very hands of God that have and are shaping your one wild and precious life.
This is the second book we'll be reading at the beginning of API TWO.  Check out what Eugene Peterson has to say about this book:

"Richard Foster takes us into the huge forest of prayer and names each tree, points out what is distinctive in each bush and flower.  After a few hours in his company, the profusion of detail that at first overwhelmed and bewildered us now delights us, pulling us deeper into the forest.  He is an expert and most courteous guide in all manner and kinds of prayer."
