Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day: A 40-Day Journey with the Daily Office

Based on his bestselling book Emotionally Healthy Spirituality, this 40-day devotional by Peter Scazzero is your guide to more intentional, meaningful, life-changing communion with God. We all struggle to find daily time to be with God for the nourishment of our souls. This groundbreaking devotional is your key to resting fully in the awareness of his presence, increasing your self-knowledge, and growing deeper, closer to God. Each day, Peter Scazzero invites you to the ancient and yet powerful spiritual discipline of the Daily Office, the practice of pausing morning and evening to reflect on God's work in your life. In the midst of the hustle, we have to create interludes to re-center our hearts on the presence of God. For eight weeks, each morning and evening devotional will help you create that much-needed space for silence and reflection. You will be encouraged with thoughtful readings and questions to consider. And after each a closing prayer, you'll return to your day with a renewed sense of purpose and peace. This devotional is drawn from the bestselling book Emotionally Healthy Spirituality and can be read as a companion book or enjoyed on its own. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day will anchor your life on the invitation to love God with all your heart, mind, and strength. In this guided journey, you'll discover the spiritual nourishment, joy, and peace that comes from meeting with God every day. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day is also available in Spanish, Espiritualidad emocionalmente sana Día a día. The purpose of this book is to introduce you to a spiritual discipline that is both ancient and revolutionary. It’s called the “Daily Office.” It provides a structured way of spending time with God each day, but it differs from what we tend to think of as “quiet time” or “devotions.” The Daily Office takes place at least twice a day, and it is not so much about turning to God to get something as it is turning to God to simply be with him. The goal of the Daily Office is to pay attention to God throughout the entire day and in the midst of our activities. The book includes material to guide you through a forty-day journey of practicing the Daily Office. I’ve collected the days into eight weekly themes, with each theme based on the Emotionally Healthy Spirituality book and course. It provides a flexible structure for your time with God. My hope is that you will adapt it to the unique needs and demands of this season in your life. Allow grace—not legalism—to be the foundation for your practice. —Peter Scazzero
