About the Book:

When the rush of regular life leaves you breathless by day’s end, this collection of everyday stories becomes the place where you can come as you are, and find yourself among friends. Friends who have been there. Friends who’ll lean in close and say, “Me too!” Through our stories the bonds of friendship deepen as we listen to each other, laugh with each other, and learn from each other. Because we’re better when we’re living this one beautiful life together.
 

With stories from 80 writers, these pages become the very place your soul can exhale, where you can:

 

· Connect with the hearts of women through stories that echo your own.

· Find beauty in the ordinary and sometimes messy moments of your everyday life.

· See your own stories as an offering of hope to those around you.

· Treasure the unseen ways God moves through even your most regular days.

 

With 365 readings, each day begins with a passage of Scripture, tells a story of everyday faith, and encourages you to take a moment to breathe with a simple but fun way to complete your day. So kick off your shoes and join us for a relaxing but special time, where friends come together and share the real stuff of everyday faith.

My Thoughts:

As someone who lives with diagnosed Generalized Panic Disorder, I've learned the value of grabbing a moment to breathe.  When the noise around me is too loud...when there are too many bodies in a not big enough space...when the demands of life pile too high...

Sometimes I just need a quick moment to myself.  A moment to decompress, to gather my thoughts, to catch my breath.  So when I was given the opportunity to read "A Moment to Breathe" by the wonderful (In)Courage Community I was thrilled.

Eighty women joined their voices and their wisdom to create a gorgeous and encouraging daily devotional that meets you right where you are.  These readings allow us to connect with other women who struggle with the same kinds of things we struggle with.  They give us glimpses of hope and lift our hearts above the fray.

This is the kind of book that makes me long to be independently wealthy, so I could buy cases of "A Moment to Breathe" and give a copy to every single woman I come in contact with.  To every single mom, widow, single woman, teen girl, college aged coed....we all have our needs and crave those precious moments to catch our breath.

"A Moment to Breathe" receives my "For Such a Time" stamp of approval.  Considering the craziness of the last few weeks, "A Moment to Breathe" is timely and treasured.  Pick up a copy of this gorgeous book for yourself and for a friend.

Until the next page turns,
