The Attentive Life: Discerning God's Presence in All Things by
Leighton Ford
This book drew me in because I thought it was a "manual" of sorts about
paying attention spiritually, but instead I found a contemplative book from an
evangelical viewpoint. Given Leighton Ford's career with the Billy Graham
Evangelistic Association, I expected a wise treatise on Scripture and prayer,
but I was surprised by so much more. This is a deeply personal memoir,
interspersed with quotes and poetry by Rilke, Sarton, Eliot, Nouwen and Kenyon. ~Reviewed by Susan Richmond
