This book was easy to read but not necessarily easy to relate to for me in many ways. As one of God's "frozen chosen" I don't think I ever expected the kind of religious ecstasy that Rev. Weems was brought up to count as the norm (in a Pentecostal tradition). However, I think many of us do go through periods of spiritual dryness, in whatever way we think of it, and I tend to agree with her way of handling it - by just keeping on showing up, doing the practices, and remaining open to the holy. In college I had a roommate who was Reform Jewish, and she had a saying she had learned, "We will do, and we will hear." Notice that the doing comes first. I need to remember that saying often, and Rev. Weems' book expands on it in a Christian context. ( ) This book was easy to read but not necessarily easy to relate to for me in many ways.

In this superb book, one of America's most respected ministers teaches readers how to re-ignite their faith when their once warm and comforting relationship with God is interrupted by a period of spiritual isolation. Reverend Renita Weems, who experienced an ebbing of her own religious commitment, addresses two fundamental questions: How do you maintain faith when there are no obvious miracles in your life, and how do you recognize the presence and voice of God?Her answers, relevant to people of all classes, genders, and races, focus on discovering the links between worship and spirituality and the work-a-day world. By redefining the routines of daily life -- from bathing a child to commuting to work to caring for an elderly parent -- as sacred rituals graced with God's presence, she provides invaluable guidance for weathering periods of disenchantment and hearing God's message over the din of worldly demands and distractions.
