Sacred Pauses

Sacred Pauses: Spiritual Practices for Personal Renewal (Herald Press, 2013).

Summary

In a fast-paced world full of distractions, this book offers fresh ways to find everyday personal renewal. Each chapter explores a different spiritual practice—from classic disciplines of Scripture reading and prayer to less conventional approaches like having fun and living simply. Through personal stories, scriptural insights, historical examples, and practical suggestions, this book serves to guide us into new connections with ourselves and others, with creation, and with God.

Praise

Sacred Pauses helps you participate in an interactive life with God. In fact, it is hard to finish the book because you want to put it down and simply engage in each down-to-earth, versatile practice!

Jan Johnson, spiritual director and author of Abundant Simplicity

A superb survey of practices we can use to help us in Sabbath-taking throughout our busy lives—not just on Sundays.

Modern life often runs us ragged, with little space for us to catch our spiritual breath. Sacred Pauses offers creative opportunities for connection with the transcendent in the midst of the everyday.
