A Spacious Place

This 90-day daily guided journal incorporates three foundational spiritual practices in the morning and three in the evening to bookend our days in the presence of God.  It becomes a constant reminder–and record–of God’s goodness and invitations to us, and a reflection on our faithfulness (and sometimes, our failures) in responding to those loving movements, always with the lens of mercy and with the end being intimate union with Him.  This journal is:

• A deep but doable way to implement a regular prayer practice

• A complement to even the most consistent prayer routines

• An indispensable aid to spiritual direction 

• A daily offering, meditation, resolution, examen, thanksgiving, and entrustment all in one 

Within a deeply personal and powerful introduction, author Claire Dwyer walks through each element of the prayer practices and sets the stage for a new spiritual season: one of greater depth, discipline, discernment, devotion, and divine intimacy. 

The Spacious Place journal is perfect for gifts and as an accompaniment (while offering a complete experience on its own) to A Spacious Place: A Spiritual Journey with St. Edith Stein.
