[Ep 120] [Book Recommendation] Invitation to Retreat by Ruth Haley Barton

This year, I am doing a monthly episode where I share a book recommendation with you, because I love to read, and I bet you do, too! 

This month, it’s Invitation to Retreat, by Ruth Haley Barton. And it fits in perfectly with some of our topics this summer as we take a closer look at spiritual practices that help us stay close to God, even when life is hard or heavy. 

Just a couple of weeks ago, we talked a little bit about journaling—specifically, how to journal in front of others. And next week, we’re going to talk about sleep as a spiritual practice. “Sleep?” you ask. Yep. Sleep. I can’t wait to share about that one with you. 

For now, let’s dive into why I recommend the book Invitation to Retreat to you—and learn a little more about Christian retreats in the process.
