Unlocking the Sacred Island

About this book

"I wake up to a noise from the front door. It sounds like the postman has been. At this unusual hour? It's still dark outside and the birds are just starting to sing. My sleep has been scattered for a while now, with strange dreams I can hardly recall, my mind often running in overdrive. Last night was no different. Feeling disorientated, I rub my eyes, get out of bed and head downstairs to investigate. There is an envelope lying on the carpet. With my name on it..." Do you wonder why life has turned out the way it has? Are you tired of holding onto your dreams, and feel you've been in survival mode for too long, just going through the motions? The words of Jesus are compelling. Come to me. "Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest." Matthew 11:28 The adventure you are about to embark on is a quest for the blessed quiet, for renewal, for rest, for the shedding of heavy burdens, for unforced rhythms of grace. You are invited to 100 days of imaginative prayer, accompanied by journaling activation questions for each day, so that you can record your own conversations with Jesus around Sacred Island. Listen to the still, small voice of the Spirit communicating within your heart and write down what you see and hear, as your own personal journey unfolds. May you experience the true rest you are longing for. A whole adventure of prayer is waiting. This is truly a gift to all believers everywhere. May you enjoy this feast of His love! - Dr. Mark Virkler Founder and President of Communion With God Ministries and Christian Leadership University CWGministries.org and CLUonline.com Jenneth's writing deeply touches my heart. Each day of this devotional gently unfolds the beauty of an intimate relationship with God. For me, its greatest treasure is the way it teaches us to still our hearts, contemplate His presence, and simply be with Him. It's a delightful, soul-nourishing read- one I'll keep close at hand to return to again and again. - Paul C. Bane MDiv Author and Founder of Mindful Christianity Today Unlocking the Sacred Island is the second book in the Imaginative Prayer series, following Unlocking the Secret Garden.
