The Virtue of Truthfulness: "If a man does not keep a pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away". -- Henry David Thoreau The Virtue of Compassion: "If your compassion does not include yourself, it is incomplete". -- Jack Kornfield The Virtue of Generosity: "A man of humanity is one who, in seeking to establish himself, finds a foothold for others and who, desiring attainment for himself, helps other to attain". -- Confucius "What better gift can we give ourselves than to take a few unhurried moments each day to ponder the virtues within us? Sacred Moments is our pathway to that gift". -- Janet Luhrs, Editor and Publisher of Simple Living, the Journal of Voluntary Simplicity

Finding Wholeness through Tears, Joys, and the Everyday From the woman fighting cancer to the man who has lost his child to the girl sinking into depression, so many of us are engaged in daily battles as we long for healing.

The Sacred Pulse
Author: April Fiet
Publisher: Broadleaf Books
ISBN: 1506469094
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 249
Book Description
Contemporary life is leaving us frazzled, overwhelmed, and out of sorts. Our life's rhythm is often borrowed from the pace of life around us. Humans have created such a loud, fast tempo of perfection and production that we often forget--if we ever knew it at all--the rhythms designed for our well-being. In The Sacred Pulse, pastor and author April Fiet invites us to examine the frantic patterns of our lives to reclaim the deeper, sacred pulses that pattern our days. Through stories, scripture, and practical guidance for daily living, she lays out twelve rhythms--including gardening, handcrafts, friendship, and holidays--that are both sustainable and sustaining. Everyday acts like mealtime and shopping, and sporadic rhythms like the occasional snow day: reclaiming these patterns can remind us of the holy movement of God in the world. In a world of hustle and bravado, silencing the noise takes practice. The Sacred Pulse shows us how to strip away all of the competing beats we have settled for so we can tap into the joyful, holy rhythms of life.
