Right Here, Right Now

Many Christians practice mindfulness outside of church and believe it does not belong to our faith tradition. This book reveals the Christian roots of mindfulness and the actual practices that, when reclaimed, deepen the life of faith and the power of our mission of love in the world.  When we understand how radical it is to live in God’s presence right here, right now, our lives are transformed toward mercy, justice and abundant life.

The book is available online new or used on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Cokesbury, Thriftbooks, Abebooks and World of Books – prices and shipping fees vary.
