Sacred Self-Care

​​Taking care of ourselves is essential. But while many of us are focusing on our physical, emotional, and mental well-being, we’re overlooking an aspect of ourselves that needs nourishing as well—our souls. This 49-day interactive devotional from clinical psychologist and theologian Dr. Chanequa Walker-Barnes shows how to begin caring for your spiritual self in only forty-nine days. Inspiring and practical, ruminative and actionable, Sacred Self-Care teaches you how to craft a sustainable self-care practice to care for yourself as the beautiful and wonderful creation of God that you are.
