This Moment of Retreat is a companion guide to spiritual growth and healing. Over the course of seven chapters, readers are encouraged to retreat into the present moment to listen to the healing guidance that is being sung in the voices of Scripture, prayer and meditation, journaling, poetry, and song.

While listening and singing along with these songs, the teaching and healing work of their retreat moments will be deepened through music and voice.
