Mindfulness is clear-sighted attention to the present moment, making it a great gift to the Christian believer who desires a deeper relationship with God. When we cultivate the ability to pay attention, we cultivate the ability to see God and receive his good gifts in each moment. We also cultivate the ability to be fully present to those around us.
The Mindful Christian: Cultivating a Life of Intentionality, Openness, and Faith serves as a guide for those who are curious about how to integrate Christian faith with mindfulness practice. The book offers inspiration for those seeking healing and peace along life's journey, as well as practical exercises for those ready to dive into mindfulness practice. Drawing heavily from Scripture, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) practices, and personal life experiences, the author presents a theologically sound, research-based, personally authentic integration of mindfulness and Christian faith. The book is available to order online through Indiebound.org, Barnesandnoble.com, Amazon.com, and Christianbook.com - or check with your local bookstore! |
