    I have a hard time sticking with devotionals and usually put them down after a few weeks. But this devotion is different. It’s packed with relatable stories, practical advice and paradigm shifting practices. Dr. Chanequa’s professional experience as a psychologist, professor, and minister create a masterful braid of long-standing wisdom.

    I have really loved reading this and following it as a devotional. Each day’s reflection is manageable while still being quite meaningful. For anyone who’s looking to incorporate some spiritual reflection and give serious thought to how they care for themselves as a full person, this is a real gift.

    I loved how Dr. Walker-Barnes provides a wise and deeply intellectual understanding of self-care and the issues related to it. I especially love how the chapters are laid out. I love how each chapter gives practical ideas to implement self-care. I found that self-care tends to be a very nebulous concept, so it is especially helpful to have a book with suggestions that are actually doable. I especially appreciate that. Most of her suggestions cost no money at all. Even better, these are suggestions that can become a routine part of life. She asks thought provoking questions in the book which really helps personal growth.

    This is not the spa day type of self-care that consumerism tends to tell us we need. Sacred Self Care takes a practical approach to caring for our actual selves – body, mind, and spirit. Dr. Walker-Barnes is such a gracious teacher and does a great job explaining why this this type of self-care is vital for us to thrive.

    As a pastor (PCUSA) and mom to young children (6 and 11), self care is something I am really good at telling others they need and something I am not really good at. But in the last year, I was forced to take a serious look at taken better care of myself, physically, mentally, and emotionally. As I found myself in a season of self care, I saw the pre-order for Sacred Self Care and new it was the guide I was looking for. Already it is reshaping the way I have understood self care and helping me as work to come out of this season of care a more healthy person.

    Dr. Walker-Barnes has a rare gift of bringing two worlds together at the same time: the physical and spiritual, the secular and sacred. And her ability to do this is so healing.I’ve really enjoyed using this devotional to start (and live) my days with more self-compassion. I’m so grateful for her work to put this book into our hands. What a gift!

    Walker-Barnes is truly a pastor of the heart and mind. This offering from her keeps in the sacred path of her writing with instruction to look long at oneself, accept we are loved by God, admit where there are “vampires” in our life, and to lean back in the direction of wellness with attainable care commitments. Walker-Barnes guides us to walk sincerely with ourselves as a gift to ourselves.

    It is my belief that we cannot ask our students, clients, or congregants to do something if we are not willing to do it ourselves (or at least try to do it)! When searching for required books for my upcoming course, Pastoral Self-Care as part of the Women in Ministry Leadership concentration, my colleague recommended Sacred Self-Care. Once I submitted my book list, I decided to engage in the 49-Day Sacred Self-Care journey specifically for myself. This book has been a blessing to me, reminding me that self-care is not only self love but also self care is an act of resistance. I am changing my already existing wellness program with the incorporation of this book. I highly recommend for your personal development as well as the developing of those you help!

    This book should be required reading for everyone! It’s insightful and inspirational. The self-care practices, while easy to put in to practice, really helped me to prioritize my self-care. I will read this again and again.

    Dr. Walker Barnes is a walking, living embodiment of the grace of being human. I love gifted authors that share their struggles while maintaining a standard. They share their growth processes with us.This book is profound. It is gentle. It is nuanced. It is straightforward. It is a work of effective beauty. I use this as a daily devotion and when I get to the end of the 7 weeks, I will turn around and start again. Thank you for sharing your gift of pastoral care, psychological insight, personal endeavor and theology with us.
