SynopsisMany Christians seek out a sacred space, but groundbreaking businessman Terry Looper wants you to discover the power of a sacred pace---a four-step process forged through years of experience that can help any Christian connect with God more deeply, hear him more clearly, and consistently make decisions that are in line with his will., How do we hear from God and discern His will when it's time to make big decisions Terry Looper shares a four-step process for doing just that - a process he has learned and refined over thirty years as a Christian entrepreneur and founder of a multi-billion dollar company. At just thirty-six years old, Terry Looper was a successful Christian businessman who thought he had it all--until managing all he had led to a devastating burnout. Wealthy beyond his wildest dreams but miserable beyond belief, Terry experienced a radical transformation when he discovered how to align himself with God's will in the years following his crash and burn. Sacred Pace is a four-step process that helps Christians in all walks of life learn how to slow down their decision-making under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, sift through their surface desires and sinful patterns in order to receive clear, peace-filled answers from the Lord, gain the confident assurance that God's answers are His way of fulfilling the true desires he has placed in their hearts, and grow closer to the One who loves them most and knows them best. Sacred Pace is not another example of name-it-and-claim-it materialism in disguise. Instead, it walks Christians through the sometimes-painful process of "dying to self" in their decisions, both big and small, so that they desire God's will more than their own., How do we hear from God and discern His will when it's time to make big decisions?

Terry Looper was living the dream: married to his high-school sweetheart, father to two precious girls, and a multimillionaire fast-tracking toward even greater entrepreneurial success. Then one day, his fast-lane life came to a screeching halt catapulting him into a crisis that nearly destroyed him-and then completely changed him. Out of this worst-to-best experience came an intense desire to live differently-to live according to God's will and God's pace rather than Terry's own. And out of that desire emerged not only a new and slower way of doing, but a new and more mindful way of deciding. He calls it a sacred pace, it's a four-step, biblically based process for decision-making that has helped Terry more confidently discern God's answers in every aspect of life. Slowing down in order to listen and align his will with the Lord's has deepened Terry's faith and transformed his approach to marriage, parenting, money, ministry, and work. But it's the peace he's had amid pressing challenges as a CEO in a high-stakes industry that can't be ignored. His experiences-along with those of others who are adopting a sacred pace in their own decisions-will convince you that God can, and does, intimately guide the steps of anyone who dares to seek His will. Whatever decision you're facing, there is a practical, tangible way for you to obtain God's specific answer, and this book will show you how. Truly, any follower of Christ can learn to reach this sacred pace where the voice of God can most clearly be heard. Book jacket.
