Mother Natalia's book for June

She writes, "Oh man...I needed this reminder to more frequently call to mind the truth that the Lord is present with me in each moment. It's not a "how to" manual - so don't expect that. There are certainly some practical tips, but they are in the greater context of the simple concept that we need to constantly turn our hearts back to God."

I read this book last year and found it simple and thought provoking. As Mother Natalia notes above this isn't a how-to manual, and you're not necessarily going to walk away with a 5 or 10 step process of being in the presence of God. Rather, you'll come away with a reminder to constantly turn your thoughts back to God, to look to incorporate God into daily life. In some ways I was reminded of how simple it is to do that, but it's been more than a year since I read the book and I can tell you that it's not been simple for me. :-) Hopefully it'll be simple for you.
