the sacred slow -- a book review

Alicia Britt Chole's The Sacred Slow:  A Holy Departure from Fast Faith offers 52 spiritual exercises that highlight the importance of soul-care.  Ours is a world driven by "fast" -- fast food and quick fixes.  Our culture has been conditioned to have it all, and have it now.  This beautiful devotional highlights the love of God that flows toward us every moment of life, and often in ways that slow all that fast living.

Each chapter -- one for every week of the year -- offers a brief reading with two options at the end (a thought focus and a heart exercise).  Each chapter flows out of Chole's own experience as a spiritual director, so there is a depth to each chapter. 

This is one of those must-reads for folks looking for a deeper intimacy with God.
