Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Which activities give you energy and connect you with God? Do you know what behaviors are life-draining for you, separating you from God? Simplicity is about choosing the engaging, relational life we were meant to live. It means shedding obligation and pretension. It means spending time energy money in ways that help us become clear-headed. It means being intentional about what we do and how we live. These choices allow God's power to move through us and bless others as we have space to do good. In each chapter Jan Johnson provides small experiments with simplicity as well as questions for discussion or reflection to get you started. Come and discover the unhurried rhythms of grace.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Ehrlich’s insightful self-help guide will resonate with Christians wishing to streamline an overstuffed life."—Publishers Weekly Logically, we all know our purpose in life is not wrapped up in accumulating possessions, wealth, power, and prestige—Jesus is very clear about that—but society tells us otherwise. Christian Minimalism attempts to cut through our assumptions and society’s lies about what life should look like and invites readers into a life that Jesus calls us to live: one lived intentionally, free of physical, spiritual, and emotional clutter. Written by a woman who simplified her own life and practices these principles daily, this book gives readers a fresh perspective on how to live out God’s grace for us in new and exciting ways and live out our faith in a way that is deeply satisfying.

Book excerpt: The classic, mega-bestselling guide that has led so many women to lead more fulfilling, harmonious, joyful lives-fully updated for a new generation who needs it more than ever. In SIMPLE ABUNDANCE, Sarah Ban Breathnach helps us discover our true self and spirit to reclaim our authentic life, and to rediscover what it is that makes us truly happy. This powerful guidebook is needed now more than ever as we are assaulted by discord and stress due to constant tragic breaking news, as well as our 24-7 social media culture. Here are some examples of Sarah's wisdom: January 14: Start a Gratitude Journal, a blank book, and write down five things before you go to bed that you can be grateful for about that day. March 21: Observe the Vernal Equinox with a springtime dinner of Salmon cakes, fresh asparagus and new potatoes. September 1: On Labor Day Weekend, make a list of all the things you wanted to do this summer, but did not get a chance to do. Save this list, and clip it to next June in your calendar. When June comes around, schedule those postponed desires! By providing a meditation for each day of the year, Sarah illuminates our journey of self-discovery and shows us that simplicity does not imply doing without-true simplicity illuminates our lives from within. She teaches us how to re-order our priorities, carve out time for the personal pursuits that bring contentment, savor the joy of simple pleasures, and delight in the everyday rituals of home and garden. Not only does each day have a meditation updated for these times, but in this new edition, Sarah will add: - "A Caution Closet," which will encourage readers to gather everything they would need to evacuate in case of an emergency, transforming an intimidating task to a source of comfort and calm. - "Shepheard's Hotel," a creative exercise to nudge readers into dreaming new dreams and encourage them to re-imagine their lives through what they love.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dallas Willard Center Book Award Finalist Jesus is speaking to us here and now. Lectio divina is a practice of Scripture reading that treats the Bible not only as a text to be examined, but also as the living Word of God spoken anew to us. Experienced Bible teacher Jan Johnson gives us forty Scripture meditations, organized topically, giving us the tools we need to practice lectio divina on our own. Each meditation can be used both individually and in group settings, and includes an introductory space of quiet along with an optional preparatory exercise; the full text of a passage from Scripture with explanations of unusual or important words, and with cultural and historical background as needed; cues to help us enter the text; space to contemplate the passage, respond to God in prayer and rest in his presence; and an exercise to "try on" one of the main ideas of the passage in our daily lives. Meeting God in Scripture moves us beyond merely understanding what the text meant in its original context to a direct spiritual encounter with Christ.
