Getting Spiritually Fit this New Year!

Joe Paprocki Books, Joe's Comings and Goings

I commented a few days ago about the fact that many of us commit to getting physically fit in the New Year and, while there is certainly nothing wrong with that, perhaps it would be even more important to get spiritually fit! My new book, 7 Keys to Spiritual Wellness will help you to do just that.

To be spiritual is to recognize that, in life, there is more than meets the eye. Spiritual wellness enables us to seek the “more.” In my book, I provide 7 enduring and reliable strategies for maintaining a wellness in our spiritual lives so that we can recognize, seek, and embrace the “more” that is God’s grace.

There’s no time like the present to get started and, since my book is not yet available (it will be in just a few weeks and you can pre-order it NOW!), I’ve decided to go ahead and share the introduction and chapter 1 with you, FREE! I hope you enjoy it and I also hope that it whets your appetite for the rest of the book!

Beautiful story from Karen: I teach RCIA for kids (2nd – 6th grades). During Lent, right before they will be baptized, we do the Stations of the Cross.

At the last minute, I decided to add a candle for each one since they had really enjoyed lighting the one we used for our opening prayer each week. We went through […]

One of […]
