Do you ever feel overwhelmed?
Do you crave time and space to replenish?
Can you name a sanctuary in your life?

These are just a few of the questions addressed by Sanctuary, a short, easy-to-read, powerful book by Terry Hershey that is great for individuals and even better for couples, families and groups of friends. After Pentecost, all members and friends of First Lutheran are strongly encouraged to read Sanctuary and engage in the questions at the end of each chapter. Teens would greatly benefit from this little book, too. It could be a great summer read! Each Wednesday worship throughout the summer will be rooted in a chapter from Sanctuary.

The book is available to purchase directly from the author Terry Hershey at terryhershey.com. He has updated his website to offer a special price: $10 per book plus $4 shipping. 

About Terry Hershey

Terry is an author, humorist, inspirational speaker, dad, ordained minister, golf addict, and smitten by French wine. He divides his time between designing sanctuary gardens and sharing his practice of “pausing” and “sanctuary,” to help us rest, renew, and live wholehearted. Terry writings offer the invitation and permission to savor this life, to taste the present moment. Most days, you can find Terry out in his garden—on Vashon Island in the Puget Sound—because he believes that there is something fundamentally spiritual about dirt under your fingernails.
