Leader’s Edge (Spiritual Formation)
Holy Noticing: The Bible, Your Brain, and the Mindful Space Between Moments
Charles Stone
Moody Publishers, 2019, 240 pages
Summary
Many today think mindfulness is dangerous, unchristian, or associated with Eastern religions—and often that is true. But Dr. Charles Stone reveals that the art of holy noticing—purposefully paying attention to God as he works in us, in our relationships, and our world—is a spiritual discipline Christians have practiced for millennia. Stone explores the historically Christian and biblical roots of this lifestyle, and presents his “BREATHe” model, which teaches you to be more engaged with Christ in the everyday moments that too often slip right by us.
