Episcopal Bishop Michael Curry, who is the presiding bishop of The Episcopal Church, has consistently promoted, taught & preached what he calls"The Way of Love" as the agenda for "the Episcopal branch of the Jesus Movement". This book, edited by The Rev. Marek Zabriskie, is a collection of Scripture readings & personal reflections by spiritual leaders across the Episcopal Church. It is based on the structure or framework, envisioned by Bishop Curry, of seven spiritual practices: a sort of "Rule" for a Jesus-centered life, not just for Episcopalians but for anyone open to a life of loving others. The seven practices: Turn/Learn/Pray/Worship/Bless/Go/Rest are presented in this book through the eyes of various appropriate (and short) Scripture readings.

It took me *way* longer than the 50 days advertised to finish this devotional, but that is entirely my fault and not the fault of this wonderful guide. This little devotional takes you through the spiritual practices known as “The Way of Love.” Each practiced is covered for a week and includes a daily scripture reading, a reflection by one of the several authors, some reflection questions, and a prayer. While there were a few duds, most of the reflections in here were great and many of the reflection questions were fine too. Not every scripture reading seems to match 100% with the lesson the reflection author was trying to convey, but many do. I would recommend this book for anyone who enjoys guided devotional readings with their daily Bible readings.

Wonderful way to start my day
I’ve read this beautiful book every day during Lent this year; and it’s provided a thought provoking beginning to my daily devotion. Huge thanks to Bishop Curry and to all the contributors.

If you want to add some energy to your spiritual life as a Christian, reading this book is an inspiring and really easy way to start.
The Most Rev. Michael B. Curry, the presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church and the dynamic preacher at the wedding of Megan Markle and Prince Harry, has offered a challenge to all Christians: The way of love is how we create a Jesus-centered life. One of the best ways to do that is by following the seven-part "rule of life": Turn. Learn. Pray. Worship. Bless. Go. Rest.
And that's where this book comes in.
Each of the parts of the rule of life is given one section with seven days of readings/reflections. The readings come from both the Hebrew Scriptures and the New Testament. Each reading is followed by a reflection, a few questions for thought, and a prayer written by someone in the worldwide Anglican church. So, yes, it's a definite Episcopal spin on the theology. Each day's full entry takes only minutes to read, although you will likely incur more time pondering the message and how you can incorporate it in your life.
But beware! After reading this book, you may not think of your spiritual life in quite the same way. You may be inspired to begin daily Bible reading, pray more, reach out to give more of yourself to others, and actually allow yourself much-needed rest for body and soul. But then again, that's the danger inherent in the way of love. It will change your life.
