The Holy Habit

About this book

After having lived in Africa and the Caribbean for five years, Wendy Wall returned to the US, with her family in tow, to a fast-paced, head-spinning, crazy American lifestyle. Part-humorous memoir, part-spiritual tool kit and part-divine boot camp, Holy Habit is an honest and candid look at how one woman went from living life overwhelmed and stressed to living her best, abundant, God-filled life.Wendy walks you through a journey of healing and discovery using the simple thesis that it takes sixty-six days to develop a lasting habit. During her prayer time, God challenged her to create a new habit and to turn all of her problems over to Him. So sixty-six turned into seventy days, and she gave it all to God. She included everything from the decision to tear down her home (you should not need a crowbar to open the front door!) to how to transition her son to high school to how to navigate the devastating grief from her mother's death. Wendy gave it all to God.Leaning on her years as a Bible study leader, retreat facilitator, and writer, Wendy created this seventy-day guide, allowing you to explore new and creative ways to develop your own holy habit. Each day, Wendy introduces a new tool or theme designed to help you build your own spiritual toolbox guiding you through innovative and unique ways to connect with God.If you want to grow from a life of chaos to a life of abundant peace and real, God-given joy, this is the book for you! Holy Habit will show you how to give your problems to God-and how not to take them back.
