Welcome to The Science of Sainthood: Total Abandonment to God’s Will
Beginning Monday January 15, 2024, join us for the first half of a 10 week series on Total Abandonment to God’s Will. Through presentations, prayer and discussion, your life of continuing surrender to God can go to a deeper level, drawing you into the amazing peace, life, and joy of the indwelling Holy Trinity.
The goal of the spiritual life could be boiled down to one thing – conforming our will to the will of Jesus Christ. It’s all about a trustful surrender to God in every aspect of our lives.
And while giving up our will and abandoning it all to God sounds a bit scary on one level, it’s actually the key to a peace that we can’t experience any other way. Put simply, the more you give yourself over to God, the happier you will be…period.
Practically speaking, it teaches how to take the events and circumstances of this life and not allow them to upset us or destroy our peace and illuminates how any circumstance can powerfully propel us forward in the spiritual life.
How Do Groups Work?
Each person in the group purchases the online rental individually. (We do not offer DVDs.)
Ascension Press will mail their workbook to them directly. (And they’ll receive the Digital Interactive workbook right away!)
Your group then comes together to watch each lesson together. And since everyone has access to all the lessons on their own, each person can review the material on their own time.
How Long Are the Lessons?
Each video is about 10 minutes long (though some are a bit longer). Many groups who use this series do two lessons each week, though you can pace it however works best for your situation.
“The length is just right for each lesson because there is so much in them. Excellent and understandable teaching.”
