Now: This Moment Matters at Home, Work, Church, School - (7 X 4) - Softcover

There are hundreds of books extolling the virtue of living in the present moment. This one acknowledges that most of us have a hard time executing that goal! Taking advantage of 30+ years of living a spirituality of communion that is rooted in the present moment, Maire O'Byrne shares stories from people who, in a particular moment, made that spontaneous decision to be truly present when facing a situation at home, work, church, school - For example, a woman recognizes that she should set aside her worry, and she shares how she does it. A man tells how a particular decision to live in the present transformed a difficult relationship with his brother-in-law. A family that had just resolved a bullying issue at school shares how they had to start again in the next present moment. These stories are everyday miracles that give you the courage to see opportunities of the present moment more clearly. The short reflections are followed by discussion questions to help you improve your own practice.

"This is a gem of a book. It is teeming with life and practical wisdom that is good for the soul. I found the experiences in each chapter spoke to me because they are about real-life situations and choices we all meet every day. I believe this will be a book that readers, young and not so young, will return to again and again for spiritual nourishment. It reminds us how to set the compass again in life when we find ourselves losing direction."
Brendan Leahy, Bishop of Limerick, Ireland
