Slow Down, Show Up & Pray

by Ruth Rice

How can we renew wellbeing in our own lives and in our local communities?

Looking after our mental health has never been so important. Many of us want to find simple ways to help our wellbeing that we can fit into our everyday life.

After suffering her own mental health crisis, Ruth Rice set up the Renew Wellbeing charity, which helps churches open safe spaces to help all attend to their mental and emotional health. Packed full of personal stories, reflective resources and practical guidance, this book will enable you to maintain your own wellbeing and encourage churches to provide Renew spaces that help local communities journey alongside each other to renew wellbeing.

Be present. Be prayerful. Be in partnership.

Everyone needs to read this book. Its so real about mental health and how church can make a positive difference rather than shying away from the problem which has now become catastrophic with the pandemic. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Lots to think about here. Rhythms of prayer and being church not going to church are things that stood out. Then do we just read the book and leave it there? Or go and do something?

Good, practical advice
