• This adaptation, by Oklahoma Conference Youth Ministries, is a free resource. Follow the "Strategic Plan" link on the Conference homepage.
• The guide contains readings, meditations, and prayers. A Spiritual Gifts Survey is part of it.
• As a weekly teaching tool for youth groups, the guide is in five sections. Groups are encouraged to design a presentation in Week 5.

In Spring 2008, Oklahoma’s United Methodists were asked to use the original "40 Days" spiritual tool in preparation for the Annual Conference. This fall, church members across the state are studying it prior to their yearly church conferences. In addition, children’s and youth versions of the guide have been created.
