Pause: The Secret to a Better Life One Word at a Time
Here it is, my friends: a great book to be read one word at a time. My major mistake while reading Pause was that I did so too quickly. I must read it again...and again until I slow down and let it change me. Read it at the right pace and you will see it is a lexicon of life, a glossary for goodness, a dictionary for the disciplines of an inner journey. And, it is just the kind of book to be read a page a day, for to read it any faster is to miss Chris Maxwell s intent, which is the development of Christlikeness in your every exchange with the world. --Calvin Miller/ AuthorWho would have thought that such ordinary moments could produce such expansive insights: hauling luggage on a plane trip, chatting with a waitress, coping with a paralyzing ice storm, singing along while a pop song plays? Anyone might see these as mundane situations. But not with Chris Maxwell s Spiritsharpened perception. His collection of words speak with power and poignancy. He seeks great graces hidden in the most seemingly random encounters. They are not random, Chris reminds us, and they can usher us into an encounter of wonder. --Timothy Jones/ Dean of Trinity Episcopal Cathedral/AuthorChris carries on a constant conversation with the Lord, and he has learned to expect to see God s hand in the most commonplace moments of life. And Chris shares what he s discovered as encouragement to everyone he knows. The words in this book will draw you deeper into your own daily dialogue with God. --J. Lee Grady/ Author, Speaker/Founder of the Mordecai Project
