Christianity Today Award of Merit In the midst of our hectic,
overscheduled lives, caring for the soul is imperative. Now, more
than ever, we need to pause-intentionally-and encounter the Divine.
Soul care director Barbara Peacock illustrates a journey of prayer,
spiritual direction, and soul care from an African American
perspective. She reflects on how these disciplines are woven into
the African American culture and lived out in the rich heritage of
its faith community. Using examples of ten significant men and
women-Frederick Douglass, Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks,
Darrell Griffin, Renita Weems, Harold Carter, Jessica Ingram,
Coretta Scott King, James Washington, and Howard Thurman-Barbara
offers us the opportunity to engage in practices of soul care as we
learn from these spiritual leaders. If you've yearned for a more
culturally authentic experience of spiritual transformation in your
life and community, this book will help you grow in new yet
timeless ways. Come to the river to draw deeply for your soul's
refreshment.
Many of us live on autopilot, often so guarded that we don't
experience the potential richness that life has to offer. How can
we find real happiness amidst the chaos, where we don't reach our
life's end and feel we missed out? In Stop Missing Your Life,
mindfulness teacher Cory Muscara takes us on a journey into the
heart of what is required for real change, growth, and happiness.
He exposes how the phrase "be present" has become little more than
a platitude, imbued with the misguided message to be present just
for the sake of being present, and reveals how to achieve true
Presence: a quality of being that is unmistakably attractive about
a person, and one that only comes when we've peeled back the layers
of guarding that prevent us from being our full, honest, and
integrated selves in the world. Muscara shows how we build internal
walls, what he describes as a "Pain Box" inhibiting us from living
a deeply connected and meaningful life. He offers a four-part FACE
model (Focus, Allow, Curiosity, and Embodiment) that helps chip
away at those walls and builds our capacity to experience the
richness of our lives. Stop Missing Your Life ultimately teaches
how we can find peace in the chaos and become better people for our
family, our communities, and our world.
Freedom to live, love and succeed on your own terms comes from
learning how to trust that grace will provide for you. This grace

Brandon Bays leads you on this challenging journey with daily
meditations and contemplations to draw you ever deeper into an
awareness of this awesome power. As your awareness grows, your own
wisdom will reveal itself and you will be able to live in the deep
peace of freedom.

Research shows that the stress points in children's daily lives are
on the increase and can have a negative impact on their ability to
learn, relate to others and to themselves. This practical resource:
explains and demystifies relaxation, meditation and visualisation;

that shows the benefits of helping children to develop
'stillpoints' in order to neutralise stress, develop a stronger
sense of 'self' and create 'optimum' learning states; includes a
very practical and unique resource for use in the classroom or
home. Based on sound educational, yogic and psychological
philosophies, each of the 7 tracks has a specific theme and is only
5 minutes long: Track 1: Relaxation - 5/6 minutes (sitting in a
chair); Track 2: Heart Meditation - 5/6 minutes (sitting in a
chair); Track 3: Finding Peacefulness - 5/6 minutes (sitting in a
chair); Track 4: Pack Up Your Troubles - 5/6 minutes (sitting in a
chair); Track 5: Finding Silence - 5/6 minutes (sitting in a
chair); Track 6: The Learning Tree - 5/6 minutes (sitting
cross-legged); Track 7: The Learning Tree 2 - 5/6 minutes (lying
down). The handbook provides the rationale for the 'why' and the
downloadable resources provide the guidance and practical
application on the 'how'.
