Review Quotes

"In All the Things, Katie Haseltine has given the church a gift. She presents the ancient practice of Examen at the intersection of two paths that rarely cross in the evangelical church: personal piety and outward issues of love, justice, and peace. Anyone who follows Katie's 30-Day Guide will find themselves maturing on both the journey inward of transformation into Christlikeness and the journey outward of being redemptively present to the brokenness of contemporary life."- Bishop Todd Hunter, Author of Deep Peace: Finding Calm in a World of Conflict and Anxiety and Founder of The Center for Formation, Justice and Peace

"There is so much wisdom packed into this small book. It is deep and reflective, yet practical and accessible for readers wanting to learn more about incorporating spiritual practices into their everyday life. Katie writes with excitement and passion out of a desire to share with others what has been so transformative for her. Reading All the Things feels like having a trusted friend walking with you and gently inviting you to pay attention to what God is doing in your life."- Jill Gullahorn, Singer-Songwriter

"There may never have been a more critical time in our history than this for our world to receive a resource like All the Things. Our readiness to accept, understand, and practice the daily Examen is likely to make all the difference in our ability to exhibit self-leadership, find inner freedom, and respond to the urgent needs of our communities from a place of courage, compassion, and clarity. The Examen invites us to a crucial posture of pausing to pay attention, and from that place, new insights, motivations, and fresh energy arises. When we search our heart, mind, and body and can truly find God in all things, our experiences are re- framed-if not redeemed! Our world is desperate for people who are deeply rooted, grounded in themselves, their faith, and their values and are equally generous, considerate, and wholehearted. The Examen practice makes this possible."- Amy Alexander, LMFT, Co-Founder and Executive Director, The Refuge Center for Counseling

"Reviving the ancient and practical Prayer of Examen, Katie accompanies readers on a 30-day journey into Christian spirituality and--ultimately--into experiences of God's love in one's real, concrete life and body. This is not a book simply to be read; it is an adventure to be lived and received by all who long for soul nourishment, presence, and Love." - Renee Farkas, MA, Christian Spirituality Spiritual Director (specializing in Ignatian Spirituality) Founder of AmberNest Spiritual Direction, Franklin, Tennessee

"We've known Katie for more than two decades. In our twenties, we spent weekends together as married couples, eating and talking sun-up to sun-down. Which means that, in spite of all the life lived since then (the miles between us, the kids we've raised, the marital ups and downs we've experienced), we know Katie well. Our friendship was firmly established in those early days--along with her tendency to end every disagreement with 'Jesus.' For as long as we've known her, all Katie roads have led to Jesus. Any topic, any argument, any anything: Katie would remind us of a verse or idea that drew the conversation back to Him.
"And she's still doing it. All the Things is beautiful and authentic and interesting and profound and truth-filled and Jesus-focused... just like our friend." - Dallas and Amanda Jenkins, Creators of The Chosen
