Think you don't have time or space for spiritual stuff That intimacy with God is impossible
GodSpace offers seven nontraditional practices that will guide busy Christians in slowing down enough to pay attention to God. It's not holding a set of beliefs, reading the Bible, going to church or even praying that determines how we connect with God. It's our pace of life.When we live hurried and distracted, we miss the chance to experience the intimacy we long for. Kent guides busy Christians in embracing the inconvenience of meeting God in seven areas:* Sabbath: Space In My Calendar* Hospitality: Space In My Home* Worship: Space In The World* Simplicity: Space In My Soul* Gratitude: Space In My Relationships* Generosity: Space In My Budget* Critical Thinking: Space For Faith & DoubtKent offers practical guidance and mentoring on spiritual practices that help us embrace the inconveniences of slowing our pace and stepping aside from our overcrowded, cluttered lives. With abundant wit and humorous anecdotes, she shows how to intentionally let go and let God foster a deeper faith in our messy lives.We have filled our homes with stuff, our calendars with activities, and our hearts with a desire for more. Keri Wyatt Kent's GODSPACE invites us to declutter our hearts, our homes, and our calendars in order to make room for the inconvenient wonder of God's presence. Kent tells stories from her own life and offers practical suggestions on how we can open ourselves up to God's work in our homes, our communities, and the world. With humor, insight, and concrete examples, Keri Wyatt Kent has written a book that encourages me to make meaningful changes that will enable less space for disappointment and more space for God. --Amy Julia Becker, author of A Good and Perfect Gift and Small Talk
