Synopsis

Most of us have a desire for a disciplined spiritual and devotional life, but few of us are able to sustain one. We find it difficult to create space and a structure for the discipline of daily spiritual practice. A Sacred Primer is designed to help readers learn how to invite the Divine into their daily lives. It will help show readers how they can know the Holy, not only in special, fleeting moments, but as a daily presence that is a source of balance, guidance, calmness, and joy.
Two events in the author’s own life—the death of her husband at a young age, and a conversation with a colleague who seemed serene in the face of her own tragedy—led her to make to make a decision to develop a daily practice of quiet time and prayer. The wisdom and suggestions for daily spiritual practice found in A Sacred Primer come from the author’s own research and spiritual journey.
The book has gotten excellent reviews, both from reviewers and readers, and continues to be in demand by church and retreat groups.
