Product Description

In a fast-paced life it can be hard to find a place for God, but Joanne Heim offers inspiration and advice to make God a part of your busy world.


From the Back Cover

Does making a place for God keep sliding to the bottom of your to-do list? Every Christian wants to spend time with God, but too often He gets wedged between work, appointments, school activities, and everything else crowding our schedules. By the end of the day, we've missed spending quality time with our Heavenly Father. We want more of God-but how? Joanne Heim understands this struggle. She's been there, too. After her own experience of misplacing God, she discovered how making Him a priority can bring the peace we so desperately need. Now she invites you on a journey to find a purpose, place, practice, prayer, perseverance, and passion for the One who makes our lives complete. Inspirational and uplifting, Misplacing God And Finding Him Again will show how you, too, can re-discover God in the midst of your busy life-and how your life will get better when you do! Joanne Heim is the author of Living Simply: Choosing Less in a World of More and coauthor (with her husband Toben) of Happily Ever After: A Real-Life Look at Your First Year of Marriage...and Beyond. A frequent speaker for MOPS, she has been interviewed on numerous radio and television programs, including "Focus on the Family" and Moody's "Midday Connection." Joanne lives in Denver.

5.0 out of 5 stars Misplacing God, October 6, 2009
I recently had a chance to review a copy of Joanne Heim's new book Misplacing God. The book is a very practical look at how to fit time with God in our daily schedule. We mommies have so many demands on our time, but Joanne gives us a gentle nudge to make sure that time with God is a priority ... our first priority ... as well. Every woman is different, so what that quiet time looks like will vary from person to person. Joanne gives suggestions based on what she does, as well as other women who are in different ages and stages of life.

I know, for me, my day always goes so much better if I take time in the morning to spend with God. Typically, I try and work on my Bible study, and the amount of time I get to work depends on my munchkins (or how many times they were up during the night). Little or much, that time is so precious for me ... as I've become more accustomed to this habit, I now find myself disappointed when don't get up in time for one reason or another.

One area that I want to work on is my prayer time. This is an area that I've struggled with all my life and after reading Joanne's book, I think I make it too hard for myself. Especially on this Easter weekend, it's easy to remember that God has been so gracious to me. He sent His Son as our sacrifice and because of that I have a relationship with Him. However, on Monday, after the Easter celebrations and services have ended, I tend to forget that God is still there with that invitation to join Him, to commune with Him. To come to Him with my worship, my confession, my praise and my petitions. What a wonderful reminder Easter is of this great truth ... I want my quiet time to be that daily reminder of the privilege and pleasure it is to spend time with Him.

Anyway, if you are looking for a book to encourage you in your quiet time or maybe to give you some suggestions if you are wanting to try something different, I suggest picking up a copy of
Misplacing God. I have thoroughly enjoyed my copy and I'll look forward to thumbing back through my copy when I need encouragement from another mom who is walking this walk with me. :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Aha to Awe..., July 30, 2009
By Helen Washington (Portland, OR USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have had the pleasure of reading Joanne Heim's blog The Simple Wife for about 2 years. Joanne has such a passion for life and for the Lord. Her enthusiasm is contagious and I always come away inspired and encouraged.

I was so excited to get my hands on a copy of Misplacing God. I have definitely had periods of time where I have lost track of the Lord and I wish now that I had a copy of this book then...it would have helped me greatly. Yet it guides me at the present as well, in continuing to hunger for time with the Lord...to fight for it...to be creative when I feel like I am in a bit of a rut. This book is not so much a formula for meeting with God although there are plenty of quality suggestions...it is more of a reminder about how God longs to meet with us and how we desperately need to have a plan so we don't miss our time with Him.

This book gave me plenty of "Aha" moments but what lingers...what will remain is awe for my Maker...the Lover of my Soul.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lifechanging Book, May 18, 2009
JoAnne has done it again - power packing a book with Scripture, practical ideas and stories that inspire readers to make positive changes in their lives. Misplacing God (And Finding Him Again) talks about the importance of having a passionate relationship with Christ, then helps readers think through the practice of finding a place for God - a sacred place of meeting, how to spend time together, how to pray, and how to keep the good practices you start. Far from legalistic, she helps readers think through how to let God's presence make the ordinary parts of life become sacred and life-giving. I've enjoyed reading her thoughts, and I'm already incorporating the principles into daily life for me and my family.
