Synopsis:
In every moment and event in our lives, God plants seeds which we may or may not notice in our paths. Our challenge is to prepare the soil of our lives to receive and nurture these seeds so that they may take root and help us grow closer to God.
By tapping into the spiritual practices revealed in scripture and throughout Christian tradition, we come to embrace what God the Gardener is doing in our lives and, in turn, to share God's grace with the world. The healthier our spiritual lives, the more abundant will be the fruits of our love, hope, joy, and kindness.
This book is for seekers of all ages and walks of life – college students, parents, professionals, the lapsed and the weary, as well as seasoned saints who wish to deepen their faith in small but meaningful ways, and it covers topics such as:
- Why Believe? The Practice of Doubt
- Awareness: The Practice of Seeking
- Loneliness vs. Being Alone: The Practice of Solitude
- Spiritual Exercise: The Practice of Practice
- Touchstones of the Sacred: The Practice of Living Sacramentally
- How, Then, Shall I Live? The Practice of Vocation
- Happy Are They: The Practice of Celebration
- When Did We See You Hungry? The Practice of Mercy
