Synopsis

Women - especially moms - often feel they are short on time, especially time for contemplation and spiritual growth. "Oxygen" is like taking a deep, relaxing breath for the soul. It gives busy women a way to grow spiritually even as they invest time and energy in those around them. This weekly devotional from the author of "Breathe" focuses women on Gospel passages using several classic spiritual disciplines, such as listening prayer, journaling, solitude, and silence. Keri doesn't water down these practices to make them easy for people with tight schedules. Rather she focuses on the basics that allow women who are craving more of God to experience a special connection with him regularly.
