The Practice Co Devotional - Volume Two

The Practice Co Vol 2 is a place for you to explore devotion... not just read a devotional, but to practice a devoted life centred around the integration of the human and the holy; the ordinary and the divine. For too long, faith has been about getting us out of our bodies, but I believe that's exactly where God wants us: content in our own skin, embodied and paying attention. It's my intention that these series of devotionals and reflections will wake you up to the divinity within you and around you, and will compel you to fall in love with your own life all over again as you find The Divine right in the middle of it all.

• 134 full colour pages heart-fully written and designed to stir the senses and imagination.
• Over 60 inspiring and powerful images, printed in full colour, to compliment the written journey.
• Intentionally designed for a more beautiful and elegant reading experience.
• 8.5″ x 11″, full colour, premium quality paper stock.

About the Author
Milani, Liz: - Hi, I'm Liz. A writer, film lover, and accidental rule-breaker. I've discovered that stories are LIFE and at any given moment you can change the script.In 2012 I began writing (and designing) short devotional pieces. We posted them on Instagram thinking that our friends and family would politely like them. But to our absolute shock, complete strangers liked them, too. A few years on, and here we are. I never dreamed that The Practice Co would turn into this practice and lead me to you. I'm forever grateful for it, no matter how rudimentary and humble our beginnings were.Not too long into our Instagram experiment, we found ourselves asking deeper questions around our faith. Everything we thought we knew; thought we had a handle on; thought was secure and for always; was challenged, questioned, and stripped bare. We experienced tragedy at home, and at work. We quit our jobs as Pastors, and started from scratch (faith and vocation) in our mid thirties. But through what felt like the death of all we thought we knew and would be, we found beauty and community. Our faith has a vibrancy that it was once devoid of. And our questions and doubts? I no-longer feel guilty for having them. They are an active part of my faith. Some call us progressive, others call us lost, to others we're too conservative. We no longer fit (nor want to) into a box, or under a certain label. And we don't think you should have to either. We're not here to tell you what to believe. We're re-telling ancient and sacred stories, and having conversations about them, so that you can find your own story within them. Faith isn't a destination, dogma, or certain set of 'how-to' beliefs and code. Faith is a verb, a way of transportation. The journey is meant to bring us closer together so that we can do the work of figuring out how to belong to and with each other in this crazy, messy, beautiful world. We are for community. Period. I've been rebuilding my life from the ground up these last few years, and it's as if I've been re-born. I'm here for you if you need to do the same.So, dear friend, come sit with me. Let's piece the stories together, yours, mine, and the Divine's. And watch the beauty unfold from such a magnificent tale. We can change the script of our lives, faith, and vocation. Or at least, when we own our stories, we get to write a brave new ending (a little Brené for you *wink*)The Practice Co is imperfect; a work in progress; a surrender of what we believe has been placed in our hands to do in this season of our lives. Our devotionals (and the things to come) are our attempt to seek God out in the everyday, ordinary, beautiful mess of our own lives; to explore the scriptures, wrestle our questions to the ground, and discover newness tucked away in the folds of life all around us.And you know what? YOU make it better, here. Thanks for coming along on the ride.Can I finish with saying a big heart felt thanks for reading... we are honestly humbled that you would allow us to be a part of your life in such a personal way.With all our love and gratitude...Liz and Jesse.
