Be Still: 30 devotions for those who feel anything but By Lucy Rycroft (978-1800393974, BRF, published July)    

Be Still is an easy-to-use, thought-provoking 30-day devotional aimed at those who would view their lives as busy. Understanding that most of us have responsibilities we can’t lay down, and being super busy herself, Lucy unpacks why she now believes being still is a state of mind and something we can achieve whatever our circumstances. Each entry is broken down into a bitesize ‘stillness’, such as ‘Be still – you don’t need to do it all at once’, followed by some introductory text, a scripture reading and further reflections from Lucy, a prayer and then a ‘stillness idea’. She indicates readers should choose just two or three of the latter to focus on if using the devotional for 30 days straight. The ‘reflect’ section at the end of the entry provides a way of focusing on how the stillness idea has helped.
