PRAISE FOR LIVING AWAKE

“Here the reader will find a series of practices …which will heal the soul, refresh the mind and heart, and open up new pathways.”–From the foreword by Alan Jones, Dean Emiritus of Grace Cathedral and Honorary Canon of Chartres Cathedral

“Living AWAKE is a treasure chest of insight, wisdom, and practice.  This 40 day journey invites the reader to know herself with love, and to then lavish that love on others.  In a day and age when a lot of spiritual pablum is in the marketplace, Mary Bea Sullivan serves up real food for body, mind and spirit, food that is like the bread of communion, giving bread so that the reader can offer bread.” —Rev. Mary C. Earle, Days of Grace: Meditations and Practices for Living with Illness

“Mary Bea Sullivan’s Living AWAKE is a wonderful manual for the spiritual seeker who thinks globally and is not afraid to move beyond the confines of his or her belief system. Using a combination of personal narrative and insights into the sacred traditions of the world’s religions, Mary Bea offers practical exercises for everyday people whose hearts ache for ‘something more.’ She writes as a seasoned mentor well familiar with the territory, inviting the uninitiated to take the first steps towards ‘living awake’ because it is a journey she herself has taken. A must read for spiritual guides and spiritual seekers who will undoubtedly look for a sequel!”
—Elizabeth-Ann Stewart, Ph.D., Jesus the Holy Fool

“There is a deep hunger today to have a more intimate experience with the Divine. Living AWAKE is a great way to get started or to get back on your journey with the Divine. This meditative guide comes from the deep wisdom of both eastern and western spirituality, yet it is simple and short enough that it can realistically be done in the midst of our busy lives. And if you stick with it for 40 days, you will have established a habit that becomes natural to you and you will be living more awake.”
—Rev. Bob Haden, Director of the Haden Institute

“Living AWAKE is  a positive, uplifting exercise particularly in Lent, a season so many associate with guilt and penance rather than nourishment/renewal of the soul and self-care.  We appreciated being introduced to many spiritual practices and loved the quotes introducing the daily entries.”--Rev. Vicky Jamieson-Drake, Chapel of the Cross Episcopal Church

“I feel about your book what I feel about Barbara Brown Taylor’s book An Altar in the World – I don’t really want to read it because then it will come to an end.  The small doses of 2 page reflections is a great pace.  Some of them have been a breath of fresh air and some of them I have argued with strongly.  All of them have made me better.”–Rev.  Ruth Perkins Lee, First Baptist Church Auburn
