About this product
Product Information
In this boxed four-volume set that began with the bestselling Sensible Shoes, author Sharon Garlough Brown invites you to join in the journeys of Hannah, Meg, Mara and Charissa as they--and you--gain a new understanding of friendship, spiritual truths, and a deeper life with God. In Sensible Shoes, you will meet these four women as they reluctantly arrive at a retreat center and embark together on a journey of spiritual formation. They find themselves drawn out of their separate stories of isolation and struggle and into a collective journey of spiritual practice, mutual support and personal revelation: Hannah, a pastor who doesn't realize how exhausted she is Meg, a widow and recent empty-nester who is haunted by her past Mara, a woman who has experienced a lifetime of rejection and is now trying to navigate a difficult marriage Charissa, a hard-working graduate student who wants to get things right We continue the journey as the women face roadblocks in the second book, Two Steps Forward , and in the third book, Barefoot , they are challenged to embrace the joy of complete surrender. In the final book, An Extra Mile , the women are navigating both deep joy and devastating loss. Can they find equilibrium in the midst of all that has changed? Find your own spiritual journey reflected in the lives of these women and discover the way forward as you walk the path by yourself or with a group of friends.

Praise for Sensible Shoes : "There are books that offer a can't-put-it-down reading experience and books that offer truths so resonant that I am compelled to stop reading and ponder awhile. Sensible Shoes is both. Its characters have become spiritual companions for my journey.", The characters in the Sensible Shoes series have become friends. Sharon Garlough Brown has created them to feel like real people--which is why so many of us readers love her books. We laugh, we cry, we puzzle at their actions, and we see ourselves in them. And more importantly, we see how a loving God can conform them to his likeness--he can change them. And, therefore, us. I wholeheartedly recommend this series and want to say please, please, read the books with expectancy and joy. Not only will you see yourself in them, but you'll be surprised at how God can use them in your own journey of faith. They are, quite simply, the best books on spiritual formation I've seen in a long time., Rarely have novels impacted my life as much as Sharon Garlough Brown's Sensible Shoes series. From the first page of Sensible Shoes to the last one of An Extra Mile, God has whispered life and love and hope to my soul even as I was swept along by a story I couldn't put down. Brown weaves real-life drama within the bounds of spiritual direction, easily combining God's Word with centuries old spiritual disciplines in a way that makes you want to walk this road with Hannah, Charissa, Mara, and Meg in a wondrous story with life-giving truth. God has used this series to change my life, moving me ever nearer to the heart of Christ. The study guides at the end of each of novel are rich, and I have used them in my pastoral care ministry with missionary women. I tell all my friends about the Sensible Shoes series!, Praise for Sensible Shoes: "My heartfelt thanks for introducing thousands of readers to the concept of spiritual direction. As a spiritual director myself, I'm ever grateful for this.", Deep, genuine friendships are rare. Christian covenantal friendships--in which you hold one another accountable to doing good, not just to refraining from evil--are even rarer. Brown gives us four women who embark on such a journey together, weathering grief, loss, joy, and victories. Through tracing a year of their lives, Brown draws her characters--and her readers--closer to Jesus, one intentional step at a time., Praise for Sensible Shoes: "Sharon Garlough Brown introduces us to four engaging women who are wrestling with their . . . view of God. Strap on your best traveling shoes--following their journey in Sensible Shoes is not for the faint of heart!", When I teach on spiritual disciplines, I often recommend the Sensible Shoes fiction series. Sharon Garlough Brown deftly weaves stories of real people grappling with daily soul care amid life's grit and grace. Moreover, these friends--Hannah, Meg, Charissa, and Mara--are me. And women I know and love. Doing things I do, both faltering and fabulous. Initially thrown together at a spiritual retreat center, these four very different women eventually form an imperfect community of support and growth--one I would love to join. I encourage you to read all four books, following them through the seasons of the year and the seasons of a lifetime. I suspect that you too will hate to say goodbye to these remarkable, authentic characters even as you take the best parts of them into your heart and your own journey., Praise for Barefoot: "Sharon Garlough Brown may be a novelist, but she's also a portrait artist, painting with tender detail the souls of four women on a spiritual journey. This third installment is harrowing, lovely, joyous--like life, like faith. Beautifully rendered!", Praise for Sensible Shoes: "There are books that offer a can't-put-it-down reading experience and books that offer truths so resonant that I am compelled to stop reading and ponder awhile. Sensible Shoes is both. Its characters have become spiritual companions for my journey.", Praise for Barefoot: "During a difficult year of loss in my own life, I found great comfort in this fictional tale of four friends with true-to-life faith. The way they relate with Christ and one another in grief, disappointment, celebration, and joy served as a kind companion to me personally, as well as a creative reminder of some of my favorite spiritual practices.", Praise for Barefoot : "Sharon Garlough Brown does not disappoint. That's because what undergirds all of her books is deep truth. One reads them and thinks, yes, that's how churches can be , or yes, that's what it's like to parent a twenty-something , or yes, that's a friendship that mirrors mine. But the deepest truth when we read her books is this one: yes, that's what a life of faith looks like--battered yet sustained, wounded yet deeply hopeful that God is up to something. These books resonate because they feel so true and because this is how we long to be: barefoot, surrendered, saying here I am to the One who guides our steps.", Praise for Sensible Shoes : "I have been on retreats with [these characters] and I am one of them. Their neediness, arrogance, cluelessness, perfectionism, self-pity, codependence . . . are mine. By the end of the book I was grateful for author Sharon Garlough Brown's fresh eyes and voice. She not only gave me resharpened tools for my journey with Jesus but also reminded me that I need fellow pilgrims to love me and keep me honest along the way.", Praise for Sensible Shoes : "Sharon Brown's story provides a way for readers to vicariously dip into deep spiritual practices through the realistic struggles and joys of four women. Through emotionally resonant characters, Sensible Shoes encourages us to communicate with God in new ways, broadening our spiritual journey one step at a time.", Praise for Two Steps Forward : "For me, these women have become sacred companions on my own journey. I learned and pondered things with them like: What are you afraid of? Where do you want control? What agitates you? Learn to linger with what provokes you. What is God stirring in your soul? It is as though you enter into spiritual direction yourself, and it's life transforming! My own heart has been enlarged for more of Jesus as a result of Two Steps Forward !", Praise for Two Steps Forward: "Once again, Sharon Brown has provided an inspirational story that allows readers to shadow four women as they continue their spiritual journey. Each facing specific challenges, the friends learn that God is with us, even now, even here, in the midst of our own mess. With a powerful companion guide for prayer and conversation, this book is ideal for anyone dealing with loss, abuse, fear, anxiety or insecurities. It reminds us all with a gentle touch that we are born in the image of God and we are worthy of being loved.", Praise for Sensible Shoes: "As a reader, I was captivated by this story and its characters. Once begun, it was hard to put down. As a long-time spiritual director and retreat leader, I found the stories of spiritual transformation to be true to what I have seen with my directees and on retreats. I have suggested it to many as a glimpse into the contemplative life and what it may have to offer them.", Praise for Sensible Shoes : "Sharon Garlough Brown introduces us to four engaging women who are wrestling with their . . . view of God.

It's about four women, every one of them coming from a different place spiritually. But all of them in need of a fresh cup of mercy. . . . So it's terrific. I highly recommend it.", Rarely have novels impacted my life as much as Sharon Garlough Brown's Sensible Shoes series.

In Mara, Charissa, Hannah, and Becca, we see God faithfully renewing real, messy lives with grace and tender patience, stretching his beloved ones to greater love and service. In this final installment of the Sensible Shoes series, Sharon Garlough Brown offers a beautiful invitation to share in the deepening sacred journeys of her characters and to make this pilgrimage our own., Praise for Barefoot : "During a difficult year of loss in my own life, I found great comfort in this fictional tale of four friends with true-to-life faith. The way they relate with Christ and one another in grief, disappointment, celebration, and joy served as a kind companion to me personally, as well as a creative reminder of some of my favorite spiritual practices.", I know of no other series of novels like this one, where you actually have the opportunity to do some hands-on, practical spiritual direction with the characters. It's exceptional! You'll identify with Hannah, Charissa, Mara, and Meg as they each walk along the life path God has for them. You'll find at the end of this series that you've gained not just more information about God, but, more importantly, a deeper understanding that you are his beloved child and that he is close, close, close!, Praise for Two Steps Forward: "With her characteristic wisdom and grace, Sharon Garlough Brown gives voice to hope in the stories of Hannah, Charissa, Mara and Meg. Their spiritual journeys during Advent are marked by darkness, waiting and even heartbreak. Yet in Brown's honest and tender narrative, their friendship with each other and their openness to God's work in their lives continues to draw them toward light and new life, bearing witness to light in the darkness.

Excellent! Retrostar Music is a very fair seller - they gave me a 5% discount on top of an already great price! They also communicated the status of my order quite frequently. The CD I ordered came in a box with plenty of wrapping paper to ensure it would not get beaten up in shipping. Usually sellers just send CDs in envelopes, so I was pleasantly surprised when this arrived in a box. The CD itself is in perfect condition. A+ experience! I would highly recommend this seller!

"Moneyball" is an old/new movie/DVD that I haven't seen. "Retrostar Music" as seller had some of Mr. Pitts movies & this was labelled "New", I decided to purchase it. The seller sent all I ordered with FREE shipping &discounted the price of all as well. It took less than a week - six days - for my complete order to arrive & they were all carefully packaged & arrived in two boxes. If I ever have a question regarding what else is in the seller's inventory, I always receive a very prompt reply.
