sanctuary describes finding the essence of life

I found this book at the bookstore in my local cathedral.It fit the bill, I wanted to read short, meaningful "sound bites" that would affirm beauty, powerful relationships with God and the sacred of humanness. Little did I realize this book does that and more. I am buying copies for my friends and plan on placing it at my husbands bedside table for last minute late night reading.Our marriage can only benefit!

Sanctuary-Becca Stevens

This book is a gentle reminder that God can be found anywhere we are and that often it is in the most unorthodox places. Once many years ago I had the oppurtunity to speak with Becca in an effort to touch and feel a "real" loving God instead of the one I had come to fear in traditional Sanctuaries and bible of my childhood. Her advice, "Just read the red." Here again she is saying, find and let God love you where you are, as you are, and sometimes inspite of your frustrations with the way everthing seems to be, for there is where Sanctuary and peace meet.
