“ALL MY LONGINGS LIE OPEN BEFORE YOU, O LORD; MY SIGHING IS NOT HIDDEN FROM YOU.” Psalm 38:9 · Have you ever covered real emotions with denial or feverish work? · Is there anyone you inwardly dislike, envy, resent, or fear? · What are your deepest secrets? · What are your expectations of yourself and others? · How do you handle profound disappointment?

Synopsis
“Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” Ps. 90:12 What will your life mean tomorrow? On the morning of her thirtieth birthday, Mimi Wilson woke up wondering where the years had gone. Time was passing more quickly than she’d imagined-but what had she accomplished? She lived a good, busy life. Yet even her active spiritual life seemed void of lasting meaning. The future hung directionless before her. The resulting unique, life-changing search for purpose and direction led Mimi to discover that an intimate understanding of God laid the foundation for the changes she desired. Uncover this story in the pages of Holy Habits as Mimi and her friend, Shelly Cook Volkhardt reveal how their examination of the names of God enabled them to begin living intentionally. Encounter God for yourself as they guide you to meet Him face-to-face and give you ways to make His characteristics a part of your daily patterns. Let Mimi and Shelly’s personal experience and in-depth study lead you to an intimate, lasting relationship with God which will give you a life full of purpose and direction.
