Navigating to Jesus: A Journey of Faith is for anyone seeking more than just answers—it’s for those seeking alignment. If you feel spiritually numb, uncertain of your identity, or weighed down by life’s roles and expectations, this book is a lifeline.Aaron and Julie Bujnowski draw from personal experience and timeless doctrine to guide readers toward a deeper connection with Jesus Christ—the source of lasting identity, peace, and purpose. Blending scriptural insight with life coaching wisdom, they reveal a God-given pattern for moving from spiritual confusion to clarity, from brokenness to belonging.Through raw and redemptive stories from their lives and the lives of other disciples, they illustrate how God clears space for deeper healing, restored priorities, and family-centered miracles. In those refining experiences, what felt like an unraveling became a sacred awakening because of Jesus.Through this book, you’ll learn how to:
(1) Awaken spiritually and remember who you are as a child of God,
(2) Find purpose in family trials and reconnect with your divine role,
(3) Use gospel-based tools to navigate uncertainty and emotional burnout, and
(4) Anchor your identity in Christ and reclaim spiritual joyIf you're searching for more than motivation—if you’re searching for meaning—Navigating to Jesus will help you remember the light within, the Savior who walks with you, and the beautiful identity you’ve always had.
For Latter-day Saints, the temple is a most sacred place where we can make covenants with our Father in Heaven and receive His guiding inspiration. But there is more to the experience than simply visiting the temple grounds and following the motions. Using personal anecdotes and fundamental gospel doctrine, authors Aaron and Julie Bujnowski present an approach for attending the temple spiritually as well as physically.With writing space to record your thoughts and question prompts to inspire deeper thinking on sacred topics found in the temple, this guide will help you
(1) Recognize the divine patterns and symbolism of temple principles,
(2) Apply broader temple insights to your specific circumstances, and
(3) see that we are all imperfect children progressing toward perfection.Attending the temple regularly is not a checkmark or a chore on the road to salvation-it is a heavenly gift and a divine opportunity to feel the Lord's presence and receive personal revelation from Him. This reverent workbook will revitalize your temple experience and help you gain greater insights from your Savior in His house.
I have participated in a number of podcast events and media interviews. I hope you will listen and be uplifted by the stories and testimonies we share.
