Summary

In this devotional book, Peter Scazzero introduces the ancient spiritual discipline of the Daily Office. The basic premise of the Daily Office is simple : We need to intentionally stop to be with God more than once a day so that practicing the presence of God becomes real in our lives. Each of the themes in this eight-week devotional is based on a chapter from the bestselling book Emotionally Healthy Spirituality - although you don't have to have read that book to benefit from these devotions. Each day offers two devotional times - Morning/Midday and Midday/Evening - where each pause can last from five to twenty minutes. --from the Publisher.
