In a world which pushes us to move faster and work harder, carving out the space for a traditional quiet time every day can feel impossible, leaving people desperate to connect with God regularly but feeling as if they're failing.

Beloved is Where We Begin encourages us to build a sustainable rhythm of grace with 52 extended reflections and blessings for people to read and ponder through the week.

Using the liturgical year, the book gently guides the reader through the Christian seasons of Easter, Ordinary Time, Advent, Christmas, and Lent, encouraging them to tune into the rhythmβ€”and hear the echo of God's voice calling us beloved, whatever we are facing.
