worth your t ime

Several years ago I heard Susan Sutton speak on the pilgrim nature of the Christian life. The teaching, taken from Psalm 84, was a blessing. So, too, was Susan herself. She was totally genuine, without pretense or put-on. In her own quiet way, she radiated the kind of peace that many of us long for. A QUIET CENTER is not a theoretical theological study, it is the fruit of life lived out and challenges walked through. It is also a testimony to the faithfulness of God toward those who faithfully seek Him. Susan doesn't live in monastic seclusion. She has a busy and fruitful life, filled with marriage, family, ministry, and friends. What she shares about finding and building intimacy with God is real, practical, and do-able.

Must-read, Practical Advice for Stealing Quiet Moments

Ever feel like your life is just a series of connected, sometimes unrelated moments that leave you drained at the end of the day and wondering what you accomplished? This easy-to-read inspirational volume is not a book full of oft-quoted truths that are easier said than lived by. It's principles were forged in the dailies of life and shared in simple, heartfelt, and straightforward encouragements that will leave you anxious to buy a copy for everyone you know.At the end of each chapter there are guidelines for spending time alone with God. Susan acknowledges that we live through seasons in our lives where we are unable to spend as much time with the Lord as we would like. She has learned, and continues to learn the key to getting beyond this is the reality of God's presence in our lives.A personal note...I had the opportunity to interview Susan for publication, so I obtained a copy of the book and began to read it. I couldn't put it down. And, it was just what I needed personally. I was in tears and had to gather my composure before I could call her to begin discussing the book. I would recommend it to any person, male or female, whose lifestyle is hurried, stressful or filled with anxious moments.
