Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains daily devotionals for the first quarter of 2019 (January 1, 2019 through March 31, 2019). The guide is intended to be used on a daily basis; however, the goal is not to follow it without any deviation from its structure. Like a garden trellis, the guide is simply a structure to encourage and support your growth, following your unique path and at your personal rate. This is not a Bible commentary or Bible study, which are both great tools to learn about God. Rather, this guide is designed to help you grow in your relationship with God. On average, most people complete a Daily Rhythm in about 30 minutes, but it can be completed in as little as 10 to 15 minutes, or you can take your time and spend as much as an hour or more each day. The foreword is by Ruth Haley Barton, from her book Sacred Rhythms: Arranging Our Lives for Spiritual Transformation. Future quarterly guides will be published approximately one month before their start date, with forewords written by others skilled in the ways of spiritual formation. Each day's guide will lead you through three components: 1. Worship: Each Daily Rhythm starts with prayer, a short scripture passage, and a time of worship through music that invites and welcomes God into your presence. 2. Scripture meditation: Each Daily Rhythm contains a Bible passage for you to read from your personal Bible. The Bible passage comes directly from the Revised Common Lectionary (RCL). The RCL is a three-year reading plan that covers the entire Bible. 3.Prayer: Each Daily Rhythm will guide you through the Lord's Prayer and encourage you to pray for people and situations as the Holy Spirit leads. Also, you will be encouraged to journal your thoughts and prayers each day.
