In his deeply personal and immensely practical book, he inspires us to
find a rhythm that will support our most life-giving relationship of
all―our friendship with Jesus.' (Ken Shigematsu, pastor of Tenth
Church, Vancouver, BC, author of Survival Guide for the Soul)'In the
spirit of Richard Foster, Eugene Peterson, and so many other reflective
authors, this book on the common rule is an exciting contribution to the
family God. Each of us needs and longs for a path to deepen our sense of
being in this world. So many Christian writers just give us one more
self-help book. The Common Rule breaks that mold and serves as a call to
deeper intimacy with God.' (Gary Bradley, The Navigators)'Justin Whitmel
Earley's honest walk through anxiety gives hope to anyone who needs a
new way. The Common Rule becomes an accessible way to move forward in
your walk with Christ, whether battling anxiety or simply wanting to
find Christ at the center of your life. Earley's fresh look at a
liturgical life comes off the page and into your daily life. This book
is a refreshing reminder that community, shared meals, fasting, praying,
silence, and rest all have deep effects on our lives. In a society of
fast food and split families, the return to the table is more important
than ever. Earley lived the fast-paced world of no margin where everyone
has free access to his life, yet in the pages of this book, we see he
has found another way–another way for us all.' (Diana M. Shiflett,
pastor of spiritual formation, Naperville Covenant Church, author of
Spiritual Practices in Community)'When someone asks how you're doing and
you always find yourself answering, 'So busy and crazy,' it might be
time for a change. The Common Rule offers practical wisdom on how to
slowly but deliberately restructure our lives, and it shows us that when
we embrace limitations, we paradoxically gain the freedom we long for.'
