In the Company of the Weary

Description

Spiritual practices for the burned-out or grieving Christian, from an author who's been there

Women managing grief, burnout, or mental illness may feel limited in their spirituality, unable to push through to participate in the often exhausting and effortful faith practices common in Christian communities. How can these weary Christians connect with God when it feels impossible?

Becky L. McCoy faced this issue personally. Hindered by grief, depression, and anxiety, she thought a meaningful spiritual life required more than she could give—until she began exploring contemplative practices and unlocked a gentle and accessible way of faith she never expected.

Now she's inviting Christians tired from trying to do spirituality the "right" way to join her by experimenting with a new take on ancient practices. Readers will:

• discover new, thoughtful ways of connecting with God,

• shift their perspectives on silence and the purpose of spiritual practices,

• realize spirituality should be full of curiosity and mystery, and

• learn that God is interested not in how much they know but in how they respond to their human limitations.

In the Company of the Weary is a gentle invitation for readers to reweave their faith with healthy practices that will honor their limitations and nourish their weary souls.
