Reviews

""Alyson Pryor's guide to personal retreat is an urgently needed resource to gently guide us into Jesus' habit of coming away to be with his Father. Weaning us from our need to perform and produce, even in our spiritual lives, Pryor provides practical support for meeting with God in seasons of exhaustion, uncertainty, and grief. I will treasure this guide for myself and highly recommend it to others!"" -- Jen Pollock Michel, author of Teach Us to Want and Surprised by Paradox
