Endorsements: GodSpace
Gary Hipp, CEO, Mission: Moving Mountains
I have been a student of spiritual disciplines for the last couple of decades, appreciating all that has been written by various authors. Dr. Sine's GodSpace is the most practical book I have read to date on really living out these disciplines in our Western culture with all its activity. It was a fresh breath of air on a subject that often loses touch with our daily realities.
Karen Ward, abbess at Church of the Apostles, Seattle, Washington
GodSpace is a travel guide for those seeking a resting place in God. Pack it in your rucksack and read it cover to cover to explore new devotional landscapes and find new spiritual oases for your soul.
Bryan Burton, Ph.D., senior pastor of John Knox Presbyterian Church and adjunct professor of theology, worship, and culture at Fuller Theological Seminary
In a culture where people are burned out, stressed out, dropping out, and even dropping dead from the pace of life, where can people turn for direction and a new way of living?…For God's sake, for the world's sake, for the church's sake, and for your sake read the wisdom Christine offers in this excellent book.…Christine presents practical advice on reordering our time by living into the sacred rhythms God graced us with from the very beginning of the creation—rhythms that point to the deepest reality of living as kingdom-of-God people.
Phileena Heuertz, international associate director of community care, Word Made Flesh
Christine Sine does a remarkable job of articulating the cry of our inner self for peace. With profound insight, she explains the need we all have for defined spaces in time to simply be. Her practical suggestions for creating these sacred spaces and rhythms make a peaceful life within reach.
Kerry Dearborn, Ph.D., associate professor of theology, Seattle Pacific University
Many of us yearn to experience the life-giving presence and power of God in our daily lives. We long to have our lives ordered by the God of all harmony and joy. Christine Sine offers practical wisdom by which we can more fully release our lives to God's care and thus more effectively participate in God's kingdom.
Commissioner Kay F. Rader, former world president, Salvation Army Women's Organizations
GodSpace invites us to discover rhythms of grace in the midst of our frantic and pressured lives. Christine Sine helps us understand the place of pace in a God-centered life that sustains community, frees us to worship, and energizes us for service.
Stanley W. Green, executive director, Mennonite Mission Network
Many of us in the Christian community are often just as frazzled and bereft of the wholeness God intends as are our neighbors in the modern, secular society in which we live. And, the diagnosis, which is increasingly self-evident, is that it is making us sick. Christine Sine reviews God's purposes as they are revealed in the biblical text, lived by Jesus, and exemplified by the desert fathers; and she discovers rhythms that make for wholeness and peace in the midst of our hectic, frazzled lives.…As a former practicing physician Christine probably wrote many prescriptions intended to help bodies heal. This text is a prescription we do well to take seriously if we are interested in health for all areas of our lives and in becoming aligned with God's purpose for our lives.
