Stuff I'd Only Tell God: A Guided Journal of Courageous Honesty, Obsessive Truth-Telling, and Beautifully Ruthless Self-Discovery (Creative Self-Care for Women, Men + Teens with Prompts, Lists + More)

Such a great idea to have a space to journal! The prompts are sincere, helpful & fun. I bought one for my son who's a college freshman & then downloaded the cards from the author's website. They fit in the book & allow you to write little notes. I'll definitely be getting one for my daughter when she goes to school next year!

Journaling is hard, especially when you can't find the words. That's why Stuff I'd Only Tell God is a game-changer! It's fun, real, raw, encouraging, engaging, and unique. You'll uncover things about yourself you've forgotten or might never have considered before. Each page is an adventure and an opportunity to unpack memories, milestones, and so much more! Plus, you learn cool stuff. It's a discovery of the heart through a journey of past, present, and future. God's grace, prayer prompts, and purpose can be found on these pages. This guided journal makes an amazing gift! Especially for those friends and family who are tough to buy for, because I guarantee they've never received a gift like this one. Plus, I'm pretty sure Jesus is smiling about it. Highly recommend!

Jennifer Dukes Lee has an uncanny way of writing exactly what we need to hear, as if she literally knows each person who will read her words. And now she’s offering YOU the same gift—the gift of knowing yourself.Stuff I’d Only Tell God is an invitation to soul-baring honesty that will change the way you understand yourself. Relate to God. Open up and be vulnerable with others.As one who defaults to stuffing down the real and pretending to be okay even when I’m not, I know how hard it is to unlearn these habits. Let your messy, in-progress story and the ways God’s not finished with you yet be visible.But I also know we settle for shallow relationships unless we’re willing to set a different trajectory. And Jennifer’s guided journal will help you do exactly that.Stuff I’d Only Tell God gets my very highest recommendation. But seriously, stop reading my words and go grab a copy for yourself (and a stack of them to gift to your favorite people!).

Even though I have journaled for years, Stuff I'd Only Tell God, is unlike any other kind of journal I've ever experienced or enjoyed. But it's not just for us who like to journal. This is for anyone who wants to get to know oneself better and to be totally honest with God. (Because God already knows anyway.) This journal is life transforming as we break down our own walls and open ourselves to raw honesty and real authenticity, giving way to healing and hope. Plus the journal prompts are fun and inviting. It's so good, it's now my go-to gift for others! I highly recommend Stuff I'd Only Tell God! Thanks, Jennifer Dukes Lee!

I like to journal, so I found this book and the questions in it very interesting, many I am not sure I would want to write down. They are deep and personal questions that will take some humbling and courage to work through. Though I know that doing this, it can be very helpful if you have some unresolved issue(s).There are seven parts to the book, and Jennifer explains the what and the why of each section. Each section has several pages of questions and ares to journal on. There are over 200 pages of questions. The first section is about discovering more about the people in your life. She states you are the sum of a lot of things. Each person you know will leave an imprint on your life. This can help you learn about why you are the way you are and about the kind of person you want to be.Section two is about your past. She reminds us not to live in our past, but it can be a good idea to look at it. See where you see holes and gardens. I liked her analogy of this.Section three is about the current moment, the present. This is a reminder to be all here. This is the section I liked best. Keeping first things first, figuring out what is important to you, what matters most.Section four is about what makes you different and wonderful. “Embrace your weird, wild, whimsical, well-made self.”Section five is summing up what you have learned so far and being honest with it. “Me and My Weird Ways.”Section six is regarding the future, learning to let go, get rid of bad habits, start new good habits, and stop doing what you hate.Section seven, the last section, is about making vows and taking action with what you learned.To be honest, there are parts I will not fill out, I don’t tend to like to dwell on the past and bring up past hurts. I’m not saying it can’t be helpful or healing. Some people need to do this. So if you are hurting by all means, this would be helpful to do those areas. I am at a point where I can use my hurts for good and be thankful that I survived through those hardships and hopefully help someone else with sharing my experience. She does share some Christian truths and verses throughout the journal, I do wish there were more of it. There are some really fun sections that I enjoyed doing. They were helpful journaling prompts. Sometimes, I sit down to write words and have nothing, but this was helpful. I didn’t have to try and come up with something. I find journaling helpful and enjoyable, so if you do also, this would be a great journal book to get and give as a gift to those who like to write.

I have journals - some still with blank pages and others filled to the last page. This is one journal that has given memories new meaning. It’s like sharing, honest and raw sharing with the One who loves me just the way I am. There is laughter and even tears as I write my heart on the pages. I know you will be changed as you begin the journey to journaling to our Heavenly Father.

Love the concept of this guided journal, and the fun, thought-provoking, and creative questions! Got a copy for myself, then ordered 5 more for graduation gifts. It'll be easy to tuck in a purse or backpack and do some hands-on thinking instead of mindless scrolling. Definitely recommend!
