This journal is meant to be experienced over eight weeks, with the intention of each participant spending five days a week significantly engaging the Lord. It is a great tool that can be utilized either by individuals or in a group setting. It would also work well in a community group, with a sports team or even a parent/child mentorship environment. The six disciplines taught in this eight-week experience are broken down in the following manner:
- Bible Study - focusing on the first two chapters in the Sermon on the Mount. The journal concludes with a challenge to continue the journey by utilizing the study principles to complete this incredible sermon preached by Jesus.
- Prayer - walking through a twenty minute prayer experience.
- Meditation and Journaling - participating in a twenty-minute meditation and journaling exercise.
- Spending “Time with a Giant” - encountering spiritual giants of the faith, and learning character lessons from an eighteen-year-old spiritual giant named Justin Sullivan.
- Scripture Memory - memorizing Ephesians 3:14-21
- Serving - executing practical serving assignments and putting action steps to your time with the Lord.
Each day of this journal begins with a brief study on the specific discipline of that day. This is followed by specific instructions that will help you develop each discipline in your own life. Each day is designed to take anywhere from 20 to 25 minutes, and this is a spiritual journey that will be both instructional and practical for you.

Makes me proud to hear about such a fine young man. Wish I knew him but by reading his Journal hope to know him.

I just happened to hear about this book today on the Sports Animal radio station.
I graduated from Edmond Santa Fe High in 2000 . I remember this story like it was yesterday, but never knew of the details.
I feel connected to Justin and this story in some small way in that I played baseball at SNU with Justin’s best friend who was in the accident with him that fateful day.
I don’t know how anyone could not be thoroughly impressed and inspired by this young man.
What an astonishing witness Justin was and will continue to be for all those who are committed and willing to follow his lead.

I just wanted to say that I am so proud of the effort that is being made in the memory of Justin.
My older brother, Wyatt, will be playing on the baseball team this summer and I can’t think of a better place we would want him to be. I think it’s great.
Our family is praying blessings over the team as the are witnesses to everybody around them and as they become role models for all the little baseball players who meet them.
