The Book: The Sacred Door
Ever wanted the worry, stress, and self-doubt to just stop? The mind can be an unruly place, churning from one problem to the next, even for Latter-day Saints. These tendencies do not have to rule the day, however. The Sacred Door offers transformational truths, a new way of relating to our natural mind, and specific exercises to rest our mind in Jesus Christ and find stillness in His nourishing presence.
What exercise does for the body, skilled mindfulness practice does for the brain--this book delivers a faith-based approach to mindfulness for gaining the “firm mind” that “feasts on God’s love forever.” Its principles have helped readers quiet the inner critic, stop panic attacks, boost self-compassion, lift depression, gain patience with family members, soothe anxiety, and much more.
