What if prayer was not about trying harder to reach God?
About the book
What if prayer was not about trying harder to reach God? What if it was a way of coming home?
The Way Within is a warm, creative journey through the ancient pattern of the Tabernacle — reimagined as a pathway into prayer, presence, healing and restoration. Beginning at the Gate and travelling through the Outer Court, the altar, the water, the Lampstand, the Table, the incense, the veil and into the Holy of Holies, Sharon Mackenzie invites you to slow down and explore what each sacred space might have to say to your life now.
A movement from striving toward presence:
- Arrive · Remember · Lay it down
- Look into the water · Ask for light · Sit down and eat
- Ask for nothing · Stop striving · Be still
- Come home · Take only what is yours · And then — go live
This is not a book about becoming more religious. It is not another spiritual checklist. And you certainly don't need to have yourself sorted out before you begin.
Come as you are. Bring the questions, the grief, the creativity, and the parts of yourself you have been told are too much. There is room for you here.
Prayer as coming home, rather than trying harder.
