The Balancing Act: A Daily Rediscovery Of Grace

by Robert Schnase

Our lives are filled to capacity with routines, habits, conversations, surprises, and disappointments. With all that's going on in life, it's easy to miss those quiet moments of grace which come more often than we realize. But they are there.

In The Balancing Act, a collection of thirty short and insightful devotional readings originally written for his blog at www.fivepractices.org, Bishop Robert Schnase invites readers to take a daily look at how to watch for and include God in their lives.

The Balancing Act is written to inspire prayer, conversation, questions, and change. Feel free to use it as a personal daily devotional or in small groups.

Topics include spiritual attentiveness, life goals, and prayer. Readings will be grouped under weekly themes and include group discussion questions with each of the 30 readings.

This is a great book, written in the style of a devotional. The illustrations given and suggestions made are easy to relate to and to apply to your life. The main focus is discovering how to balance your responsibilities and outlook on your life to make sure you are growing in your relationship with God.

a very easy read. a nice 'devotional' without seeming like the traditional devotional. with a lot of 'devotionals' i lose interest before getting to the end... not with this book.

i enjoyed his stories and analogies.

we used these devotionals in our Sunday School class

these are well conceived and well-written - lend themselves to good discussions
