SKU: 1502504 The Practice of Stillness
Description
Because that’s what Jesus Christ did. The scriptures describe many times He retreated to find greater time alone with God, yet experiencing this in our own lives can be surprisingly challenging. Though we all have reasons to feel busy, hurried, and stressed, the day-to-day practices of gospel living offer abundant opportunities to stop the frantic doing and slow down so we can “be still” and know the living God for ourselves (Psalm 46:10).
The Practice of Stillness, a companion to the paradigm–shifting The Power of Stillness: Mindful Living for Latter-day Saints, is a guided workbook that will help you create greater stillness and mindfulness in your life. In it, you will find short devotionals, questions to ponder, and actions you can take to better put into practice the power of stillness.
