Life is often chaotic. And no matter how hard you try to find space, to slow down, the chaos always seems to win. Tricia Rhodes's life is chaotic too. But in the midst of a time of household turmoil, Tricia learned to see God and coummunicate with him in whole new ways--not on a spiritual retreat, but right in the midst of the chaos of life. She offers us here a fresh view of connecting to God, one that focuses on quality time and frees us from the rigidity of a devotional life that may feel stifled, grow stagnant or bring about guilt when we can't keep up. These pages will help awaken you to the reality of God's presence in your life--just as it is--providing new ways to pray, to listen to God, to view others the way God sees them, to be guided by God. Ideas at the end of each chapter and suggestions for prayer experiments give practical suggestions for connecting with God and noticing his work throughout each day. God is not afraid of chaos. If a chaotic life has you running, let Tricia's words offered here help you run to God in the midst of it and discover the ways he can turn even chaos into something sacred.

Pain and loss are not only the products of chaos. They produce chaos. Chaos can have gentle beginnings, such as an inner tug within our souls that awakens us to the realization that the life we are leading is not fulfilling. Chaos can also begin in more dramatic ways - the death of a loved one, a divorce, the loss of a job. Whatever the impetus, chaos is uncomfortable. It moves us out of familiar patterns and known ways, and causes us to reevaluate what is important; and, if we heed the signs, its sets us on a journey of seeking more of what is missing.In this extraordinary book, James R. Newby tells us of his own spiritual journey and emitonial chaos - of the death of his father, the breakdown of his marriage, and his own bouts with debilitating depression. He shows how chaos such as this, or chaos that simply whirls around inside us, becomes sacred when it pushes us on the quest for spiritual intimacy. What that quest looks like, says Newby, very much depends on how willing we are to let go of the past behaviors that have tied us down and follow wherever the chaos of our spiritual quest leads us.

Goodchild explains that our most important task is the growth of our consciousness and that this cannot be accomplished apart from an awareness of the complexities of love and its shadows. It takes the us into that domain where eros' arrows thrust us into those shadowy depths where our keenest vulnerabilities and woundings--and our deepest imaginings and longings-are hidden.
