Called isn’t primarily a theology book. It’s a practice book that happens to have rigorous theology in it.
Here are three practices from the book that you can begin this weekend:
1. The 4-6 breath: Four counts in through the nose, six counts out through the mouth. Extended exhale directly activates the vagus nerve. Three minutes. Anywhere. The beginning of somatic regulation.
2. The morning intention: Before you check your phone, before the day’s demands arrive, take sixty seconds to ask: what is the best thing I could bring to this day? What is the initial aim being offered to me right now? Not the agenda. The aim.
3. The end-of-day witness: One sentence, written or spoken aloud, about the moment you were most genuinely present today. Not most productive. Most present.
These are from the middle chapters of Called. The full book gives you the theological framework, the clinical research, and the pastoral wisdom of Larry Love’s thirty years at the open table.
Available on Amazon KDP in paperback and Kindle.
