Experience God in Every Moment: The Revolutionary Practice Transforming Christian Spirituality Are you tired of feeling spiritually distracted? Do you struggle to sense God's presence in your daily life? You're not alone—and there's a biblical solution that's transforming how thousands of Christians experience their faith. In Sacred Attention: A Christian's Guide to Biblical Mindfulness and the Practice of God's Presence, author Spencer Westel reveals how ancient Christian contemplative practices are being rediscovered for modern believers hungry for deeper communion with God. This isn't Eastern meditation repackaged—it's a return to the biblical call to "be still and know that I am God." What You'll Discover: Inside this comprehensive guide, you'll learn how to cultivate sacred attention through practices rooted in Scripture and 2,000 years of Christian tradition. Westel provides step-by-step instructions for developing a daily practice, integrating mindfulness into ordinary activities, and addressing common theological concerns with wisdom and clarity. Whether you're washing dishes, sitting in traffic, or facing difficult conversations, you'll learn to recognize God's presence and respond with your whole being. This isn't about adding more to your busy schedule—it's about transforming how you experience the time you already have. Perfect for readers who: Feel perpetually distracted and want to develop greater spiritual focus Long for a deeper, more experiential relationship with God beyond intellectual belief Are curious about Christian mindfulness but concerned about theological soundness Want practical tools for prayer, presence, and spiritual growth Struggle with anxiety, stress, or feeling disconnected from God What makes this book different: Unlike secular mindfulness books, Sacred Attention is thoroughly grounded in biblical theology and orthodox Christian faith. Westel carefully distinguishes Christian contemplative practice from Eastern meditation while drawing on rich traditions from the Desert Fathers to Brother Lawrence. Every technique is explained clearly with attention to both theological foundation and practical application. Addressing the Controversy: Is mindfulness really Christian? Westel tackles this question head-on, providing thoughtful responses to concerns about syncretism, works righteousness, and spiritual safety. He shows how present-moment awareness isn't borrowed from Buddhism but recovered from Christianity's own contemplative heritage. Start Your Journey Today: With simple five-minute practices you can start immediately, this book meets you where you are and guides you toward sustainable spiritual growth. You'll learn to pray without ceasing, take thoughts captive to Christ, and live in conscious communion with God throughout your day—not as distant goals but as developing realities. Join the growing movement of Christians who are waking up to God's presence in every moment. Your life of distraction can become a life of sacred attention, starting now.
