Lead me from death to life,
from falsehood to truth.
Lead me from despair to hope,
from fear to trust.
Lead me from hate to love,
from war to peace.
Let peace fill your heart,
my world, my universe.
Amen....

Finding Our Way Again: The Return of the Ancient Practices

     Sometimes we lose our way and we need to find a way to bring ourselves back to God and his spiritual teachings. Most of us lead busy lives and have a day full taking care of children as well as working full time jobs. We don’t always realize it when we feel ourselves being torn away from God and his teachings. Brian McClaren helps us to realize what is going on and what we need to do to change our ways and return to God.
     In his book Find Our Way Again: The Return of the Ancient Practices is a masterpiece that needs to be read by all who need help in this area of their lives. I really enjoyed reading this book and it has helped me to realize how I need to change my ways and make more time for God’s teachings.
     This book has spiritual exercises at the end of almost every chapter that can be completed to better help you to understand what was discussed during the chapters. The book discusses many practices such as fasting, Sabbath and fixed-hour prayer. I believe that this book can be very helpful to many who read it. I would recommend it to all.
