Editorial Review:

Product Description:
In our busy and fast-paced world, it is often difficult to find quiet spaces for rest. This book will support the reader in finding ways to intentionally set aside sacred space within the home, church, garden, retreat, or other settings. Included in this guide are detailed instructions for establishing such spaces, ways to use props such as artwork, plus a helpful and adaptable meditation guide for the space. The guided meditations within the text act as a link between the physical setting and the spiritual transformation that could occur in each space. This helpful design guide offers ways to create sabbath rest within the shelter of a small, intentionally set-aside sacred space.
