Thirty years ago, I was afraid of surrendering my life completely to trusting in the Divine. This fear is what stopped me from growing in my faith and crippled me into believing that if I did, something terrible would befall on me or my family, as a way of testing my faith. I was afraid to practice my faith and my heart was contaminated with guilt, anger and inferiority. Then something happened. I took a leap of faith and decided to join my husband in a catechist program that was being delivered at our church. Little did I know that this would be the catalyst that would move me in a direction for a new life. The program taught the meaning of scriptures and how to read and meditate upon them. One night I opened the bible to a scripture passage found in 1 John 4:18. The words, "Perfect Love casts out fear" suddenly jumped off the page and spoke to my heart directly. I knew that the Lord was speaking to me through this scripture passage and He released my fears. With this new found freedom I embarked on a journey that helped me discover my connection with God and the many ways in which He communicated to me. This book reveals my journey as God revealed His presence to me though signs and symbols, in my journal writing, meditation, prayer, past memories, through His creation in nature, the stillness around us, and through everyday miracles. In a personal way he continues to speak to me through life and death experiences. Along with my sorrows, he fills me with joy through his His peace, grace and PERFECT LOVE.

Within these pages, we travel together through a year of Sarah’s life, a year of boot camp—a boot camp that allowed her to experience God’s grace like never before, a boot camp that’s filled with cancer and loss. Sarah helps us recognize God’s grace in our lives and our place in the world. She shares her boot camp experience filled with training on how to be still. Be still and know that He is God.

The author of this book is uniquely experienced and gifted. He has advanced from drug addiction and crime to martial arts, an encounter with Jesus in a Syrian cave, and a deep schooling in body-soul prayer. He has learned from whatever is true, noble, right and pure in holistic traditions of east and west, including the desert Athletes of Christ and contemporary psycho-somatic research. Øyvind Borgsø teaches us how to de-stress. He is at home in his body and enables us to be at home in our bodies, which are temples of the Holy Spirit. 'Prayer means unblocking all the rooms in my body and soul' he tells us. He unpacks for us the old adage 'to pray is to breathe'. He writes about 'nowness', which some of us know as 'the sacrament of the present moment'. This man of prayer gives us the tools to become supple, replete, and to grow in stature. - Ray Simpson of Lindisfarne
