The Sacred Slow by Dr Alicia Britt Chole

The Sacred Slow by Dr Alicia Britt Chole is a book which can be used as a personal devotional or a guide for small groups to use.  This guide book will help you to get close to God in a way you never have completed before.  This book will guide you to finding the love that only God has for you.  This book is divided into 52 experiences which you can divide into 52 weeks of study or 12 weeks of study.  Personally I divided it into 12 weeks of study as I went through the series.  This book invites you to look inside yourself and see the true you--not the you that you wish you were nor the unlovable you--but rather the you that God loves.  Honesty is hard to see in oneself but God sees you honestly every day and loves you more than anyone can.  You are worth it but you must look at yourself and see it for yourself.  You cannot look at yourself honestly in the next 2 hours however so this book helps you with exercises to look at yourself honestly and love yourself as God does.  There is no reason to lie to God since He knows everything about you and He loves you.  God doesn't however work on our timetable.  He works in the endless period of time for all eternity.  This books starts with making your own Life Scroll from the toolbox in the back of the book and then working on this scroll throughout the book to help you see yourself more clearly and honestly.  I found myself as I worked through the book finding that the honest me changing as I found the me that God loves.

Read this book if you are looking for a change in your life--a change that will bring you closer to God.
