Summary

Deseret Book recently published a remarkable book titled “The Power of Stillness: Mindful Living for Latter-day Saints.” Mindfulness practices like meditation have become central to an emerging spirituality in the broader world. Latter-day Saints are busy people; we're doers. Our lives and our faith seem to keep us constantly in motion. But our souls yearn for stillness. This book explores how to infuse our daily lives and our spiritual and religious practices with a quality of mindfulness.

We think this is an incredibly important book. So we invited one of its authors, Ty Mansfield, to explore this topic with us at a gathering in February. He was wonderful, so we decided to share it with you. Ty is a marriage and family therapist at the Marital Intimacy Group and teaches at Brigham Young University. We hope you enjoy this episode.

0:00.0	Hey everybody. Before we get started I just wanted to tell you about a new book from
0:04.4	Faith Matters Publishing. It's called Restoration by Patrick Mason. When we started the
0:08.8	Faith Matters Publishing project one of our goals was to explore what
0:11.9	restoration really means as the church moves into its third century
0:15.2	and that's exactly what Patrick does. If you're like me and you've ever wondered how restoring Israel
0:19.9	can be relevant to you, you've got to read this book. Patrick shows how as members of the
0:24.4	church it's our mission to truly lead out in bringing wholeness and healing to the
0:28.2	marginalized and the vulnerable. This book absolutely lit a fire for me and it has
0:32.2	totally changed the way I view my own engagement with the church and with the world.
0:36.0	I really can't recommend this book strongly enough.
0:38.5	It's the kind of book you want everyone you know to be reading to so that you can talk about it. So you can pick up a copy for
0:43.9	yourself or for your friends and family at Desert Book, Amazon, Audible, and Apple
0:48.3	Books. Okay that's it on the book for now but we'll be sharing a lot more in the
0:51.5	near future. Thanks as always and here's the episode.
