Sacred Space: A Little Book of Encouragement

I've ordered this for several years now and I really like it.

Sent to a friend that's going thru difficult times. He loves it! It lifted his spirit.

Speaks to your soul.

What a beautiful book of prayer and contemplation to be had in Sacred Space: A Little Book Of Encouragement by The Irish Jesuits. Vinita Hampton Wright has selected material from the Sacred Space website and has given us seventy abbreviated chapters of wisdom, love, confidence and hope in each and every section of this little book. Each chapter speaks to the heart to give comfort and support no matter where you are in your personal life’s journey. Each chapter contains Scripture, a reflection and a prayer. You are encouraged to look at the table of contents and select a reading that pertains to your situation at any given moment. There is nothing that is not covered in this book. From happiness, confusion, fear and suffering, this little book has it all.What I really liked about this book is the ease in which material can be read and accessed. I was able to look through the chapters and select any section that pertained to how I was feeling that day. Once I selected what I wanted to read and contemplate, I was able to spend as much or as little time as I wanted. It’s a beautiful way to pray. It’s also a wonderful way to practice Lectio Divina, (contemplating and praying through the Scriptures). It’s impossible to go wrong with this book. I found it a comforting way to start and finish my day.In addition, this little treasure also negates the excuse of “I’m too busy to pray” or “If I only had more time”. Each chapter is short taking only minutes to read, meditate and pray leaving one with a clearer and more favorable perspective for the day. Give this little book of prayer and Scripture serious consideration. You will not be sorry you did.I want to thank Loyola Press via NetGalley for an advanced copy of Sacred Space: A Little Book Of Encouragement by The Irish Jesuits for a fair and honest review.Book Matron

70 short but packed chapters or reflections make up this mighty little book. Each chapter is made up of a Gospel reading, short reflection and prayer. Each chapter is given a descriptive title like "When I feel unseen and Insignificant" or "Sometimes the Temple Needs Cleaning" or "Am I afraid to Surrender".I used this book during my morning quiet time and it allowed me to carry the reflection as well as my own take away with me throughout the day. I love that you don't have to read the chapters in order. The day I felt unheard, I could read "Can I trust God to Hear Me" and a take away to meditate on during my day.The chapters are short so they can be used where time is limited but they are packed with thought provoking words.I received this book free from NetGalley and Loyola Press for my honest opinion

Not my thing but made a good gift for an individual experiencing tough times.

Great little book, would recommend to anyone.
