Product Description

The Day is Yours is a protest against the culture of speed both in the culture at large, but also, more ominously, in the church itself. Rooted in the monastic liturgy of the hours, The Day is Yours argues that in order for Christians to act as a truly prophetic witness, in a time of cultural decadence, they must recover a more biblical rhythm in which work, rest, relationships, worship and prayer are held together in creative tension. Written by a pastor, the central thrust of The Day is Yours is that living one day at a time with gratitude and contentedness is vital, lest the church capitulates to the distractedness of modern life.

Review
A very powerful and persuasive call to embrace a slower, fuller and more biblical rhythm of life. It helped me to reorder my life so as to live by priorities not pressures. I warmly recommend it! --Mark Stibbe, vicar of St Andrews Church, Chorleywood

Rhythms of life, of worship, of prayer, can be dismissed as onerous by the indolent and the foolish but to the truly wise they provide the heartbeat to spiritual vitality and fruitfulness. --John Colwell, Tutor in Christian Ethics and Doctrine, Spurgeons College, London

In this stimulating book Ian Stackhouse schools us in how to live a day well. If we dont live the core message of this book the cost will be high. If you cant imagine when you may have the time to read it then it is the book for you! --Viv Thomas, Director of Formation at St Pauls Church, Hammersmith.
