About this listen

Sharon Garlough Brown tells the moving story of four strangers as they embark together on a journey of spiritual formation:

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.

You're invited to join these four women as they reluctantly arrive at a retreat center and 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.

Along the way, listeners will be taken into a new understanding of key spiritual practices and find tangible support for the deeper life with God.

If you want to travel this journey with others, you will find a group study guide and book club resources at sensibleshoesclub.com.

This book will speak VOLUMES to your soul. Many times I wanted to throw it away from me (because it touched all of my buttons)! But I just knew it was speaking Truth and I had to read it …! Well worth the effort

It touched ALL of my buttons!!!

I loved that there was something you could learn from each character and that you felt like you were a part of the sensible shoes club too

Thought-provoking

I enjoyed the characters of this book and could see some of my own traits in each character, and believe that as they came to see what held them back, I might be guided to see too, and walk into healing.

Easy to listen to at first when I was tired but then while driving it had so many different things that I could see in my own life I am so grateful to my friend who reminded it to me

I could see myself in all 4 of these ladies

I really don't understand what's going on. It's jumped to so many different characters without any introduction to any of them.

Boring
