Cultivating Shalom: Finding peace in the midst of disruption, uncertainty and ordinary life - Hardcover

With all the noise and uncertainty, along with our fast paced world and jam-packed schedules, it is often difficult to keep sight of the goodness and beauty that surrounds us. Finding peace seems elusive when we are constantly bombarded with bad news, negativity, and reminders that we don't have enough. Is it possible to be content and fulfilled when there is a perpetual underlying sense that we don't measure up? How can we contribute in positive ways to bring about healing, justice and hope to our world, even in the midst of disruption and disappointment? The answers to these questions seem to lie in a familiar, ancient writing. Cultivating Shalom uses the imagery and wisdom of Psalm 23 to uncover new insights on what it means to flourish and experience a deep sense of wholeness, delight and wonder in all seasons of life. This is not ten easy steps to wellness. Rather, it is an invitation to keep company with God and others, providing a new lens that reveals the extraordinary power of ordinary life. Cultivating Shalom is down to earth and practical as it examines how paying attention to the small things and putting simple practices into place will cultivate the wonder of shalom in your own life.
