Here are some questions you may want to explore in this conclusion section: What are you going to do now that you have read these books? What, if any, have you tried practicing? What would you like to continue to practice? If you have already experimented with some of these practices reflect on how they have impacted your daily life. How did your experiments go this semester? If possible, you are invited to share both “successes” and “failures.” Looking back on all the experiments you have done, which were the most meaningful and spiritually impacting? Describe why. In general, what did you like or enjoy about these practices? Looking back on all the experiments you have done, which were the hardest to practice throughout the week? Describe why. In general, what did you not like or enjoy about the practices? Do you think you will continue any of the experiments in the future? If so, why and which ones? You may want to provide three or four action steps that describe what practices you have tired or would like to experiment with in your life, ministry and/or work as a result of your reading. Consider outlining the practices you would like to attempt using action steps which are clearly defined and thus reveal a commitment to specific time, specific people, and identified steps.
