About the author-

Ken Shigematsu currently lives in Vancouver with his wife and son.  He is the Senior Pastor of Tenth Church in Vancouver.  He also received the Queen Elizabeth Diamond Jubilee medal.

My thoughts- I enjoyed God in My Everything, by Ken Shigematsu, from the beginning.  I liked the trellis, because it had Roots, Relate, Restore, and Reach Out, everything we need to be doing as Christians.  I thought his eight guidelines were essential.  The ones I thought were the most important to me were “build slowly,” “stay flexible,” and “make time for fun.”

Some more things I thought were important:

• Our lives don’t need to be perfectly balanced, just centered.
• We need to memorize scripture and we can do it by imagining what is happening in the scripture we read (I had never thought of doing that). 
• Multiple samples of “Rules of Life,” so I had an ideas to help me write my own.

The only part of this book that didn’t mesh with me was the suggestion of picking a day to make as my Sabbath day.  The Sabbath only occurs on one day a week.

I certainly learned a lot from Shigematsu.  I hope you read this book and learn how to center your life around God.
