Product Description
In today’s anxiety-ridden, stress-infused world, even a moment of quiet reflection has become a time- consuming luxury most of us just can’t afford. How did we reach this point? How did we lose our direction and sense of control? And, most important, how can we reclaim our lives? Linda Kavelin Popov asked herself these same questions, after the pressures of her own workaholic lifestyle nearly destroyed her. Now, as cofounder of the International Virtues Project she helps others achieve a pace of grace—a pace for our lives that can balance and sustain us physically and spiritually. Through a four-part program that teaches you how to purify your life, pace yourself, practice the presence, and… More >>
A Pace of Grace: The Virtues of a Sustainable Life
Comments
The Virtues are so very need in our lives and especially to teach them to our children, virtues use to be in the older tv shows and in our schools, but so many of our teachers and leaders today don’t have the kind of virtues they need, so you can’t pass on what you don’t have yourself. This book really has good insight on teaching and using these values in our life.
Rating: 5 / 5
I enjoy reading; but I don’t always hold onto many books. This is a keeper. It offers workable ideas on “restoring grace, sanity, and vitality to our lives”.
Rating: 5 / 5
A Pace of Grace provides a refreshing, practical approach to balanced living that any of us in our fast-paced world will do well to pause and consider. The author’s style is candid, reflective and inspiring. She complements her own story of overcoming paralyzing fatigue with the experiences and insights of many others from across a wide range of spiritual and cultural traditions. This book provides the ways and means of living out the author’s prescription to “fill your cup and you will have an overflowing sufficiency to give to everyone you love and anything you do.”

Refreshing, renewing, and full of hope! A Pace of Grace is the first book I have craved to read in its entirety. It is nourishing and so practical to apply to all types of lifestyles. The author, Linda Kavelin Poppov, has shared such a treasure and delivers her experiences with such tenderness and understanding that those who read her book will be inspired to make little shifts in their personal lives to allow for a “graceful” life.

I’ve read dozens of self-help type books over the years, so I no longer expect to encounter anything terribly “new” when reading a book that advises a person to slow down and smell the roses, so to speak. So I confess that I approached this book with a bit of cynicism. But this book will move even the worst cynic. It spoke to me in a way that no other book has and inspired me to make major changes in my life that I’ve talked about making for many years. The recommendations may feel familiar – eat well, rest, get your finances under control, practice forgiveness – but the author inspires by making clear that taking good care of one’s self is a spiritual task of the highest order. Adopting a set of practices that help us to achieve a pace of grace is necessary to ensure that we honor – every hour of every day – the virtues within us and bring our best and highest self to every relationship, challenge and opportunity in our lives. I cannot recommend this book more highly. In fact, I am about to send it to a friend.
