"With wisdom, clarity, and sacred practicality, Dorothy Bass changes our relationship with time. It needn't control us. Rather, the day, the week, and the year are each an opportunity for us to shape our lives in the peace and kindness of God. God's story becomes our story." --Walter Wangerin Jr., author of The Book of God "Those who struggle with pressures and limits of time -- that is, all of us! -- will find this book a rich resource to be tasted and tried. This deeply spiritual book dramatically reorients the heart of the reader, challenging our time - obsessed society and teaching the wisdom of religious practices." --Bonnie J.

Miller-McLemore, author of And Also a Mother: Work and Family as Theological Dilemmas "A profoundly useful book. It reminds us forcibly that we are embodied creatures gifted by God with time too precious to fritter or work away. In its recommendations for healing our relationship to time, it is often unsettlingly revolutionary, frequently subversive of our secular culture, and always full of Dorothy Bass's honest and generous reflections on her own life. It is a pleasure to recommend it." --Roberta Bondi, author of A Place to Pray: Reflections on the Lord's Prayer and Memories of God.
