5.0 out of 5 stars
Wonderful reflections, and no guilt!,
By K. Brick (Chicago) - See all my reviews
This review is from: May I Have This Dance? (Paperback)
Because this thoughtful, down to earth book is organized by month you DON'T GET that, OH NO, I'VE FALLEN SO FAR BEHIND THAT I'M CHUCKING THE WHOLE BOOK feeling that you get with so many books that have daily reflections (including the allegedly simple Simple Abundance). You can refer to the book daily, every couple weeks, or once a month and find it tremendously worthwhile. It also seems to be acceptable to people of all Christian denominationsJoyce Rupp captures the experience (running the gamut from anxiety-laden to peace-filled) that people desiring to deepen their relationship with God go through. One gets the feeling that Rupp is an admittedly fallible but patient and wise teacher who has been there herself. May I Have This Dance is a book (like Anne Lamotte's Traveling Mercies) that I feel comfortable recommending to friends who aren't particularly religious, but are seeking some indefinable thing (comfort? a new vision of God? insights about their own actions?).

This review is from: May I Have This Dance? (Paperback)
Joyce Rupp creates a simple outline for the dance of life with God. These monthly meditations follow 12 themes which focus one's inner life in a depth of prayer with "litanies, creative writing, guided meditations, and ideas for reflection and journal writing". These inspirational suggestions may be used by one's self, or in groups to guide the participant in a lovely, inspiring, experience with God.
