The Sacred Slow: A Holy Departure from Fast Faith

The Sacred Slow: A Holy Departure from Fast Faith

<p><strong>52 Experiences in Unhurried Honesty with God</strong></p><p>If yesterday’s word was “simple,” tomorrow’s word will be “slow.”</p><p>Our culture is shifting from fast food to health food both physically and spiritually. Self-care, soul-care, life coaches, and spiritual retreats all show our dissatisfaction in quick fixes and fast faith. <em>The Sacred Slow</em> is an invitation to unhurried honesty before God. Formatted as 52 experiences, <em>The Sacred Slow</em> reminds readers on every page that God never wanted to use them: He always wanted to love them.</p><p>Experienced devotionally or in small groups, each chapter features a short but unexpected reading and two options for application: a thought focus or a heart exercise. The content is the overflow of Dr. Alicia Britt Chole’s thirty+ years as a spiritual mentor to leaders and learners. The tone is personal, practical, and penetrating. The fruit is sustainable (as opposed to event-based) intimacy with God.</p>
