When I saw the synopsis for this book, I knew I had to read and review it. This book is so me! In the busyness of the day, too often God slips to the wayside. I fall asleep during my evening prayers or in the morning as I am praying, my mind flits off to what I need to do that day. I knew there was a better way to bring that closeness and connection back to the forefront.
This book shares seven ways to reconnect with God without taking a lot out of your day. Perfect for every busy person I know! Check out:

Think you don’t have time or space for spiritual stuff? That intimacy with God is impossible?
Here’s how-in the life you already live-you can make time and space for God.
GODSPACE offers seven practices that help busy Christians pay attention to God. They help us align our sometimes messy daily lives with our spirituality. And they strengthen our most important relationships, giving our lives meaning, significance, and purpose.
It’s not holding a set of beliefs, reading the Bible, going to church, or even praying that determines how we connect with God. It’s our pace of life. When we live hurried and distracted lives, we miss the chance to experience the intimacy we desire with God.
Experience God more deeply and live more joyfully by exploring these seven spiritual practices:
Sabbath
Hospitality
Worship
Simplicity
Gratitude
Generosity
Critical thinking

My Review of GodSpace by Keri Wyatt Kent
This book is a wonderful read! When I started reading it, the content came as such a relief. I always MEAN to set aside time each morning for devotions, but the day seems to just fly by. The author offers us a concrete plan to get that missing connection back with her ideas this book.
Easy to read and apply, I found myself saying, “I can do that” with each suggestion. I love the author’s straightforward approach to this book. The writing is down to earth and does not dictate but comes to you as wisdom and love. I know I have been in her shoes as a harried wife and mother.
While this is a Christian based book, there are many applications for the use of the book for life in general. Slowing down and reconnecting with others is critical in our time of frenzied lifestyles. Between work and family, it is no wonder that we lose connection, not only with God, but also with others we care about, including ourselves!
This is a great book for any age. Definitely worth the read!
