Feast Faith Flourish: Holistic Wellness in Light of Eternity - Hardcover

by Katie Gearns (Author), Samantha Worthing (Author), Elissa Voss (Author)

Life is an endless succession of ebbs and flows, and as we journey through nature's cycles, our human spirits yearn for the authentic integration of wellness and faith in our fast-paced world.

Feast, Faith, and Flourish is bursting with practical and spiritual wisdom drawn from the traditions of the seasons, the rhythms of the liturgical year, and the authors' deep understanding of creation, the human body, nutrition, movement, and how to live a more contemplative life while joyfully serving God. The reflections in this book were carefully selected from nearly four years' worth of favorite entries in The Ember Journal, a beloved seasonal print magazine for women. In these exquisite pages, you will enjoy delicious recipes and be uplifted by beautiful full-color photos, original meditations on the great celebrations of the year, explorations on the mysteries of the Rosary, and inspiring quotes from the saints. You will discover:

• Ways to reduce stress, improve digestion, get quality sleep, and regulate blood sugar
• Methods for designing your own Potager garden for practical and spiritual purposes
• How embracing God's will in daily living leads to healing and redemption
• Ideas for planning "dynamic celebrations" for great saints' feasts and every season
• Scrumptious and nutritious holiday dinners, desserts, and homemade drink syrups
• Tips on cultivating life-giving hobbies, decorating, and much more

God desires that we tend to both our souls and our bodies to experience restoration through the many gifts He has placed within our grasp. Learning to integrate the two is not about arduously seeking balance but about peacefully discovering harmony. Feast, Faith, and Flourish was born out of Ember's simple mission: "To strive for truth. To be well. To follow Him."
