From Library Journal
Crafton, an Episcopal priest, presents a series of 365 finely crafted daily meditations that urge women gently and persuasively to seek serenity in the midst of their harried lives. With evocative imagery and sparkling narrative, Crafton locates the sacred in daily experiences such as a mother and child's sharing a subway ride to work and school and a single mother's quest to provide food, housing, and love for her children. These powerful meditations are gorgeously rendered and cut across the range of women's experiences. Highly recommended.

Book Description
Almost every lady knows the press of busy days-days when we can't keep track of what we've done (or haven't done), much less find five minutes to rest. These daily meditations from best-selling author Barbara Crafton-wife, grandmother, priest, retreat leader, and spiritual director-will help women restore the balance and bring perspective into their daily lives.

Crafton explores the things women know well: bags under the eyes, people who monopolize meetings, office politics, middle-age pride, kids leaving home, faith, love, destiny, the impossible images women's magazines perpetuate, friendship, and many more. Here she becomes the wise and funny friend every lady requirements every day.

Reader Reviews
This review is from: Finding Time for Serenity (Paperback) I won Finding Time for Serenity at a bridge game. I brought it home that evening, read that day's entry, and was hooked for the year! Barbara Cawthorne Crafton's amazing insight into being a mother/wife/daughter/good person is heartwarming. What wisdom she shares with us! I'd love to have lunch with her! Comment | | (Report this)
