Break Down Better: 52 Restoring Devotionals for Burned-Out Women by Vivian G. Cumins is a marvelous series of passionate, elegant, and healing love letters to women everywhere who suffer from burnout. Drawing on her own rock-bottom experiences (cancer, work stress, grief), Cumins identifies “overworking, overcommitting, and overthinking” as the foes of healthy, joyful spiritual practice and living. With crystalline clarity, she finds restorative faith in stillness, discernment, and equanimity. Through putting God first, caring for oneself, and engaging in prayerful play, Cumins gifts the inspiring promise and joy of “The simple gift of another day.”

Over the next three days, we will explore how vineyards and seasons of seclusion can draw us closer to God’s plan for our lives.
