Hardcover. Condición: Fair.

Hardback. Condición: Very Good. From the flap: For the threescore years and some change that I have been on this planet, I have operated like the George Harrison lyric, If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there. Of course, I have a daily to-do list. But every morning I wake up and basically let daily circumstances affect my mood, my productivity, and my happiness. I suspect I am not alone.If only I took my cue from my rescued Labrador friend, Maggie, who can capture a playful moment at the drop of a hat--er, toy. Just now, Maggie walked through the room, spotted her red, oversize squeaky bone, leapt through the air to grab it, and started a game. That is living in the moment.Maggie's ability to live fully and joyfully in the moment amuses and even inspires me. The sad reality is that I dismiss my canine friend's talent to enjoy each moment. I rationalize her skill as entirely due to a lack of a calendar, a smartphone, and a spouse or significant other.But is that true? Is my slavish addiction to performance, attention, and (gasp) devices robbing me of the joy, smiles, kindness, and affirmation that my heavenly Father desires for me--and for all of us--to enjoy each day?We live in the most connected culture in the history of the world, but it's arguably the most disconnected from God and one another. So today I embark on a journey to intentionally live more fully in the moment and to be more connected to God, others, and myself.Is this goal even possible to achieve? Can a very old dog learn a pretty radical new trick to live more consistently in the moment?--DAVE BURCHET, from the Introduction.…

Hardcover. Condición: Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Good. What if we are stubbing our toes on the sacred every day and not realizing it? We are the most connected culture in history but arguably the most disconnected from the awareness of God's presence. Waking Up Slowly is author Dave Burchett's personal challenge to live "in the moment" and find the everyday joys he misses in disconnected busyness. What moments of joy do we inadvertently miss as we stare at our screens? What performance idols destroy our ability to appreciate God's gifts? Dave Burchett sets out to find out how life might look differently if he awoke each morning consciously looking for the easy to miss "postcards from God." Waking Up Slowly is an intimate, warm, and touching story of discovering how to more fully appreciate living in the moment. During his discovery, the author finds regular reminders of daily joys from his Labrador pal, Maggie. Waking Up Slowly challenges the reader to recognize, appreciate, and celebrate the ways that God reveals himself daily. Through regular people, everyday situations, cuddly creatures, and stunning nature, God's presence is real and discoverable. We just need to wake up to it.
