Just like it is not easy to swing a golf club and hit a great drive every time, daily living is fraught with challenges that test our commitment to be loving and peaceful. There are many ways people grow spiritually. One person can make a huge jump in an instant due to the circumstances of the day, or to a past experiences; for others, spiritual growth may be more gradual, measured, and intentional. In Power for Life, ordained minister, spiritual educator, life teacher, and author David Preston Sharp offers a slow and steady approach. Sharp shares both the process and the fruit of a two-and-a-half-year meditation practice he engaged in to further his own spiritual growth. The resulting guidance offered in Power for Life revolves around basic themes such as kindness, gentleness, joy, love, peace, and patience. It also challenges our everyday level of compassion, self-control and awareness. In each of the 365 meditations, Sharp offers a “morning” question for the reader to take into the day ahead, along with words of guidance. Each “evening,” he reflects honestly on his own experience of trying to live that guidance and invites readers to do the same. Power for Life is an invitation to greater spiritual maturity and the joy, gratitude, and wonder such awakening can bring.
