Ragged: Spiritual Disciplines for the Spiritually Exhausted

By Gretchen Ronnevik

Book Overview

You've tried it all before. You've done the Bible reading plans until you reached the book of Numbers. You have prayer journals that are half full. You hunger for a deep, meaningful spiritual life, but are so weary of your own personal inconsistencies and life interruptions that it almost feels hypocritical to try again. It often feels like spiritual disciplines are for the privileged few theologians who contemplate God's word while sitting in their studies. But God doesn't ask for your performance in exchange for his love.

It's time to release the feeling of failure from your spiritual life and redeem the promised peace in the midst of a life full of exhaustion and interruptions. It's time to recognize its all about dependence on God. Ragged will give you a paradigm shifting approach to daily devotions. God intends to grow us in his love through all of of life's disruptions. Using scripture, you'll see how your relationship with God--from start to finish--is not dependent on your works but on the works of Christ.

A must read.

I’m buying it for all the close women in my life. But it has great content for men too. So many times, we turn spiritual disciplines into works that either bring us pride if we are successful or despair if we aren’t. If we have a good understanding of the gospel and sanctification, this is the remedy. This book helps us think about spiritual disciplines as the should be used appropriately.
