In My Spiritual 5-a-Day: Daily Habits that Will Last for Eternity, Yvonne Hayes presents a transformative guide to cultivating a vibrant spiritual life through five simple, daily practices rooted in faith and devotion. Inspired by the Cardiff Wales Stake's initiative to bring Latter-day Saints closer to Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, this book expands on the original "Spiritual 5-a-Day" concept, offering practical, heartfelt wisdom for individuals and families seeking to deepen their connection with God.
Drawing from her rich experiences as a devoted member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, a mother, grandmother, and wellness advocate, Yvonne Hayes weaves personal anecdotes, scriptural insights, and prophetic counsel into an engaging and accessible narrative. Each chapter explores one of the five daily habits-prayer, scripture study, pondering, service, and covenant observance-demonstrating how these practices foster spiritual resilience, personal growth, and family unity.
Daily Prayer: Learn to communicate openly with Heavenly Father, listening for His guidance and building a lifelong relationship of trust and love.
Daily Scripture Study: Discover how consistent engagement with the scriptures nourishes the soul and invites the Holy Ghost to illuminate your path.
Daily Pondering: Embrace reflective meditation to unlock revelation and apply gospel teachings to your daily life.
Daily Service: Find joy in selfless acts that brighten lives and mirror Christ's love, from small gestures to meaningful callings.
Daily Observance of Covenants: Strengthen your commitment to sacred promises, finding assurance in God's unwavering blessings.
With a foreword by Andrew Dearden, former Cardiff Stake President, this book emphasizes the power of consistency over perfection, encouraging readers to start small and grow steadily in faith. Yvonne also highlights family-centered practices-such as family prayer, scripture study, and Family Home Evening-that create a spiritual legacy for generations. Rich with quotes from modern prophets, hymns, and scriptures, My Spiritual 5-a-Day offers a roadmap to a Christ-centered life filled with hope, healing, and eternal purpose.
Whether you're new to these habits or seeking to renew your devotion, this book is an invitation to weave spirituality into every day, transforming your heart and home into a sanctuary of faith. Perfect for individuals, families, and study groups, My Spiritual 5-a-Day is a timeless resource for anyone striving to live closer to God.
