Learn simple steps to write your spiritual autobiography. Reflect, use provided questions, and employ voice-to-text or keyboard typing to capture your journey with Spiritual Life Stories and create a beautiful keepsake book.
Have you ever thought about documenting your spiritual journey, but didn’t know where to begin? Your life is filled with experiences, lessons, and faith moments that deserve to be remembered — not just for yourself, but for those who will be saved and redeemed by hearing your story.
Writing your spiritual life story can seem overwhelming, but with the right approach, it can be a deeply rewarding process. Below, Spiritual Life Stories has outlined a few steps to begin your approach.
Step 1: Reflect on Your Faith Journey
Think about the pivotal moments in your spiritual life. These might be moments of challenge, transformation, joy, or discovery. God is in our lives in unseen ways. By recognizing that it was God who led you, a recognition of his power can lead others to follow him.
Have you encountered His love?
Do you see his beauty in everyday things?
Have you experienced great joy?
Did you behold a miracle?
Has He provided grace to you?
Are you thankful for His forgiveness?
These are a few items to reflect on your life to make your decision to record your spirit-filled life and story. So many questions can be asked and answered, and are on the Spiritual Life Stories platform.
Step 2: Use Guided Questions
Writing on blank page can be intimidating. That’s why Spiritual Life Stories offers hundreds of thoughtful prompts, from childhood memories to adulthood, weaving in life-changing spiritual events. The beauty of writing your own autobiographical story is that you don’t have to answer all the questions, and you can also add your own to tailor it to your personal story. The goal is to record it for others to see how God has worked in your life.
Your private spiritual story can be a description of a specific spiritual event in your life, or a season of increased spirituality, or a lifetime of living with God and His Word.
A few sample sections, with 10 to 100 questions in each segment from the Spiritual Life Stories book writing program:
About Me & My Faith
My Parents
Foreword, Dedication & Top 50 Questions
Childhood
Adult Years
First Job & Career
Looking Back & Sage Advice
… And other chapters regarding siblings, college, military service, and/or marriage, children and grandchildren.
Questions and answers can go unanswered if they do not pertain to your life experience that you want to tell a story about.
Step 3: Speak Your Story
Spiritual Life Stories wants to make it easy for you to tell your story. If you don’t enjoy typing on a laptop or tablet keyboard, you can use voice-to-text to simply speak your story. Your natural voice and emotion will come through in your words.
This easy way to enter information makes it even more important to share your testimony. You can even enter information on your phone, which means you can take your storytelling with you wherever you go.
Step 4: Preserve It in a Beautiful Book
Once your story is complete — whether it’s under 50 pages or a detailed memoir — Spiritual Life Stories transforms it into a gorgeous, hardbound keepsake. You can be as detailed as you like, taking several days to compose it, or up to two years with the two-year subscription.
At $99 for two years of access to Spiritual Life Stories, an ability to add photos taken with your phone, and a high-quality book, it is worth looking into at SpiritualLifeStories.com.
