Ragged

Spiritual Disciplines for the Spiritually Exhausted

By: Gretchen Ronnevik, Elyse Fitzpatrick - foreword

Narrated by: Kelsi Klembara

You've tried it all before. You've done the Bible reading plans until you reached the book of Numbers. You have prayer journals that are half full. You hunger for a deep, meaningful spiritual life, but are so weary of your own personal inconsistencies and life interruptions that it almost feels hypocritical to try again. It often feels like spiritual disciplines are for the privileged few theologians who contemplate God's word while sitting in their studies. But God doesn't ask for your performance in exchange for his love.

It's time to release the feeling of failure from your spiritual life and redeem the promised peace in the midst of a life full of exhaustion and interruptions. It's time to recognize its all about dependence on God. Ragged will give you a paradigm shifting approach to daily devotions. God intends to grow us in his love through all of of life's disruptions. Using scripture, you'll see how your relationship with God—from start to finish—is not dependent on your works but on the works of Christ.

Thought Provoking

I really liked the honesty about how the author changed her thinking. Deepening our spiritual walk is engagement, not gimicks.

I laughed, and cried in nearly every chapter

I found this book unbelievably relatable for this season of life I am in. So many truths brought about that I had forgotten and needed to be reminded of. Many topics I haven’t spent much time learning on my own were explained in depth, but yet so plainly. I really appreciate Gretchen‘s honesty and rawness.
