If you've been asking for a sign as to whether it's time to get alone with God, Press Pause is it." - CeCe Winans, from the foreword Why Quiet Time Is the Most Important "To Do" of the Day Do you long for a deeper connection with God but struggle to find the time? Between your personal life, work, and responsibilities, it's easy to feel like quiet time with God is just another sacrifice. This is your invitation to pause, pivot, and discover renewed peace and purpose. In Press Pause, Karynthia Glasper Phillips takes you on a transformative journey that combines biblical reflections with practical steps to help you disconnect from the chaos and truly reconnect with God, making room for quiet time even if you feel you have no time.

The book concludes with a seven-day retreat guide, providing an immediate opportunity to let go of distractions, embrace stillness, and step into the fullness of God's presence. In this book, you'll discover a renewed awareness of God's presence, how time in private with God can have lasting effects in your public life, practical guidance to help you pause on purpose in quiet time with God, how physical well-being and spiritual health are intertwined, and how a healthy spiritual life leads to greater care for others and better decisions at home, work, and in society.
