Full Description
Need something new? Midlife brings changes, responsibilities, losses. Meanwhile, in your personal walk with God, things may have become ho-hum. Can God meet you if you take a new and fresh path? He surely can! This season of life can also be a time of discovery and new beginnings. It's a good time to explore new patterns of prayer and spiritual disciplines for deeper growth. Lynne Baab says, "At midlife one of our tasks is to discover patterns of living that will endure through the second half of our lives and give us pleasure, joy and connection with God in new ways." She introduces us to seven time-tested patterns of spiritual discipline, showing how they may help us combat spiritual restlessness and ennui, helping us find fresh paths for the years ahead. Inside you'll read about - Celtic Christian spirituality: finding a sense of place - nature: a gift from God that calls us to worship - sabbath: learning to rest in God at midlife - Benedictine spirituality: worshiping in ordinary life - from head to heart: experiencing God's truth through creativity and beauty - contemplative prayer: letting God speak through Scripture
