Based on his bestselling book Emotionally Healthy Spirituality, this 40-day devotional by Peter Scazzero is your guide to more intentional, meaningful, life-changing communion with God.

We all struggle to find daily time to be with God for the nourishment of our souls. This groundbreaking devotional is your key to resting fully in the awareness of his presence, increasing your self-knowledge, and growing deeper, closer to God.

Each day, Peter Scazzero invites you to the ancient and yet powerful spiritual discipline of the Daily Office, the practice of pausing morning and evening to reflect on God's work in your life.

In the midst of the hustle, we have to create interludes to re-center our hearts on the presence of God. For eight weeks, each morning and evening devotional will help you create that much-needed space for silence and reflection. You will be encouraged with thoughtful readings and questions to consider. And after each a closing prayer, you'll return to your day with a renewed sense of purpose and peace. This devotional is drawn from the bestselling book Emotionally Healthy Spirituality and can be read as a companion book or enjoyed on its own.

Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day will anchor your life on the invitation to love God with all your heart, mind, and strength. In this guided journey, you'll discover the spiritual nourishment, joy, and peace that comes from meeting with God every day.

Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day is also available in Spanish, Espiritualidad emocionalmente sana Día a día.

Top Highlights

“In what way(s) has God put your life or plans ‘out of joint’ so that you might depend on him?” (Page 28)

“So why is it called the ‘Daily Office’? The word office comes from the Latin word opus, or ‘work.’ For the early church, the Daily Office— praying at fixed times throughout the day—was always the first ‘work of God’ to be done. Nothing was to interfere with that priority.” (Page 11)

“Each Office contains five elements: Silence and Stillness, Scripture, a Devotional Reading, a Question to Consider, and Prayer.” (Page 13)

“True freedom comes when we no longer need to be special in other people’s eyes because we know we are loveable and good enough in Christ.” (Page 53)

“What things or people are you rooting your identity in that God may want to dig up so that your identity might be replanted in him?” (Page 85)
