We’ve definitely got enough programs and processes for growth when it comes to our relationship with God, so I’m loathe to suggest yet another curriculum of should-dos. That said, I can’t help but share Don Postema’s 9-week journey, Space for God.
I was first introduced to this book during my Spiritual Formation course at Tyndale Seminary. Our professor used it as a gentle way to introduce us to the rhythms associated with a life oriented toward God not just in our serving but in our living, breathing, walking around moments. Slowly, Space for God creates a space within you that may not have been there before—a quiet room of the soul in which to meet God.
For those familiar with spiritual disciplines and the journey of prayer, Space for God is yet another tool for opening and deepening toward God. For those for whom the words contemplative or spiritual director might be a stretch, Space for God introduces a compelling practice of the presence of God with strong reasoning and simple experiences.
I go back to Space for God at least every other year as my own refresher and mini-retreat in daily life.
