Cultivating a Life of Holy Attention
Unfortunately, I only read through chapter five of this book before I needed to return it (I was trying to read it slowly and only in the mornings after my Bible reading when my mind was freshest). I plan to either buy it or borrow it again.
Sarah delves into our need to be quiet and to be focused in our highly distracted world. She divides her writing into three parts-The Nature of Quiet, The Shape of Quiet, and The Gifts of Quiet. Her word choice is precise yet her writing is beautiful and poetic. I think readers would benefit if they would discuss this book with a friend. Questions "to ponder" are included at the end of each chapter.
One of the chapters compelled me to finally buy The Ox-Cart Man by Donald Hall!!
*Highly recommend.
-Borrowed from the library.
