You are invited to a launch party for my newest book release, due to hit the shelves on August 2! A Mindful Moment: 5-Minute Meditations and Devotions is written with teens as the primary audience but created to spark the hearts of adults as well. I hope you love it :).

Here's what you'll find in the book.
  • 150 brief devotional reflections, each building off a Scripture passage and accompanied by a mindfulness practice
  • short written guides for standard mindfulness practices (ex. body scan, sitting practice, walking/wheeling practice, etc.) for readers who would like to go more in-depth - these are consistent with my audio meditation guides online
  • FAQs related to mindfulness meditation (ex. "What if I feel more anxious while I meditate?")
  • brief how-tos about meditation, Christian integration, and mindfulness-related journaling

If you're in the West Michigan area, I hope you'll come celebrate the book release with me - it would be great to have you there! Here are the details:
  • Day/Time: Tuesday, August 2, 2022 - 7:00pm
  • Location: Baker Book House, 2768 E Paris Ave, Grand Rapids, MI
You can register here to help the staff plan (it's free), or just show up! There will be cake (of course), friendly faces, moments of meditation, and lots of books - Baker is a fun place to browse, and they even have a coffee shop.

I am grateful to Zondervan Publishing for the opportunity to fulfill my dream of writing a devotional book, grateful to my family for giving me the time and space to hole away last year and get it done, and grateful to my readers who walk with me on the path of Christian mindfulness. Your encouragement in this work keeps me going!

My prayer is that the words in the book serve as a balm for your soul in troubled times, whatever wounds you might be carrying. Let's stick together as we follow Jesus through life's troubles, practicing his ways of love and unity, looking to him to provide all that we need. He is faithful.

    I am Irene Kraegel. I am licensed as a clinical psychologist and teach mindfulness on a faith-based university campus. I practice mindfulness because it opens me up to God (a.k.a. brings joy). I am writing here in hopes of sharing some of my experiences and thoughts related to the practice of mindfulness in the life of a Christian. Thanks for reading!
