Make a Joyful Noise: Searching for a Spiritual Path in a Material World.
This study guide has been designed to use in conjunction with the book: Make a Joyful Noise: Searching for a Spiritual Path in a Material World.
Use a separate notebook or paper to answer each of the questions after you have finished reading the book chapter. You may find it more helpful to read the book through once before answering the study guide chapter questions.
This is your personal journal or workbook. It is in no way to be interpreted as emotional, psychological or spiritual counseling.

If you are open and honest about answering the questions to the best of your ability, the information you learn about yourself with help you to develop “heart knowledge” as well as “head knowledge.”
