~Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Sometimes it pays just to slow down and look around. We spend so much time rushing around from A to B and back again in our own little bubble of home and work, sometimes without taking a moment to stop, take in the world around us, and breathe. Interested in slowing down your hectic pace and looking for deeper meaning? Here are a list of books for all ages that inquire about the nature of different religions and encourage a spiritual practice. Take one home today! Bring one home to read with the little ones!
