In this book, the author shares the story of her personal spiritual learning quest and the specific strategies that were effective for her spiritual growth. During a particularly demanding time of her life, Linda felt a longing for peace and spiritual connectedness. In those very busy days, she questioned whether she was following the Great Commandment to "love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength" (Luke 10:27). She was dissatisfied with the lack of spiritual growth she experienced in the habits of praying silently and passively reading devotionals. Learning to love God with heart, soul, mind, and strength became a focus of private study and journaling, which led to this book. Linda began integrating short, practical routines throughout her days, creating several brief periods of daily spiritual connectedness. Utilizing multisensory learning strategies that she used with her students, she discovered more meaning in her spiritual life. She concluded that part of loving God fully means loving him more actively as opposed to having a passive and lukewarm relationship with God. Linda feels passionate about sharing these multisensory teaching methods for personal spiritual growth--evidence-based effective strategies that are widely used in academic settings but are rarely used in spiritual learning. The author suggests practical ideas for connecting with God throughout busy days, ways requiring more involvement and more mental focus. Also, Linda offers spiritual learning ideas, which address individual differences in learning styles and types of intelligence as opposed to the same methods for everyone. Following the ideas in this book will keep your mind more focused on your relationship with God throughout the routines of your day while bringing more passion to your spiritual learning
