Product Description

In this groundbreaking devotional book, Peter Scazzero reintroduces and expands upon the ancient spiritual discipline of the Daily Office. The basic premise is simple: Christians need to intentionally stop to be with God twice each day to create a continual and easy familiarity with God’s presence for the rest of the day.

In the same powerful rhythm as Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day, each day offers two Daily Offices—Morning/Midday and Midday/Evening—where each devotional time will reflect on emotionally healthy relational themes, such as clarifying expectations, deep listening, and clean fighting. Readers will be ushered into a transformational practice that will deepen their daily walk with Jesus.

From the back cover of the book

Ancient. Revolutionary. Life Changing.

Is it possible to live unhurried and content amid the pressures of life? In Emotionally Healthy Relationships Day by Day, Peter Scazzero invites us to explore the ancient practice of slowing down for God through the Daily Office.

We often turn to God to ask for something. The spiritual discipline of the Daily Office invites us to simply be with God. The basic premise 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 all through our days.

Each of the themes in this eight-week devotional is based on the life-changing skills from The Emotionally Healthy Relationships Course. Each day offers two devotional times, Morning/Midday and Midday/Evening, where each pause can last from five to twenty minutes.

Emotionally Healthy Relationships Day by Day also serves as a companion toThe Emotionally Healthy Relationships Course (workbook and DVD).
