First, I would like to extend a heartfelt “Thank you” to
Alicia Britt Chloe and her publisher for sending me a copy of "The Sacred Slow" to
review for them. I am truly grateful for this generosity. I really appreciate
the time, effort and expense it takes to make a reviewer copy available to me.
The
Sacred Slow by Alicia Britt
Chloe is a really cool devotional/study book!
This book is meant to be savored, not quickly power-read! This is a very deliberate and methodical read
that is designed to be chewed on for maximum benefit to your relationship with
God. This book is so much more than a
read. It is also filled with challenges
to put what you’re learning into practice.
In the hustle and bustle
of everyday life and especially now during the holidays, I’ve chosen to take
one “experience” every week so I can really contemplate what Alicia is
presenting. This was easy to wrap my
mind around since the book contains 52 experiences – one for each week of the
year. When I go on vacation in another
week, I believe I will keep this pace because I’ve enjoyed taking my time with
this.
So often I find I
am not applying God’s truth to my life because I’m doing so much: teaching
Sunday school, leading a BSF discussion group, participating in choir and
praise team, working full time and caring for a husband and a few dogs. What I’ve discovered through reading this
book at a relaxed pace is that God can accomplish much through me when I put
Him first.
