About the book…

God did not intend for it to be hard to know or experience faith, hope, and love—everything and anything can reveal God’s loving work in the world. So why does it feel that way?

In All the Things: A 30 Day Guide to Experiencing God’s Presence in the Prayer of Examen, Katie reveals what happened when she opened herself up to an ancient prayer practice popularized by a 16th-century warrior turned priest named St. Ignatius. She found in the Examen that the everyday stuff of her ordinary and messy life was all she needed to know and love God—it wasn’t so difficult after all. All the Things includes 30 readings that show you the numerous ways the prayer of Examen can impact and transform your life—one 24-hour day at a time.

If you long for a deeper awareness of God’s presence, a sense of companionship with Jesus, and a felt experience of the love of God—without wearing yourself out trying to find it—join Katie to learn more about this life-changing and life-giving prayer.

 
 

What People are saying about All the Things

“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

“Sometimes we simply know. The first time I met Katie Haseltine, we were sitting together in the Art House in Nashville, and I listened, intrigued by her thoughtful passion for all things that should be. And now, over many years, my respect has only deepened as her life has deepened. She has worked hard to form her heart after the heart of God, and I have watched with affection and respect as she gives herself away to others, for others. I pray that this new book will bring her commitments and love to a wider world, a hope I have long had. All the Things is for everyone, everywhere, who longs for what should be, for what someday will be.”— Steven Garber, Author, The Seamless Life: A Tapestry of Love and Learning, Worship and Work, Senior Fellow for Vocation and the Common Good for the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust

“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 reframed—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

 “All the Things is a winsome invitation to grow your soul through a deeper exploration of Ignatian spirituality, contemplative living, and the Enneagram. Katie reintroduces readers to ancient pathways of spiritual practices with earthy, practical applications that we can all access in our modern lives. If you join Katie in the journey that she invites you to through All the Things, you may just find your heart, mind, and soul expanded—I certainly did! Don’t miss the invitation!”— Hunter Mobley, Enneagram Teacher, Author, Forty Days on Being a Two

“Katie Haseltine does an amazing job guiding you from having knowledge of God to knowing Him intimately. In this journal, you will experience being held by Him and cherished on a deeper level and experience how God truly knows you, sees you, and loves you for exactly who you are… His beloved and cherished child. So, dive into this beautiful journal for a rich and transformative experience with God right beside you.”— Beth McCord, Your Enneagram Coach, Author, Becoming Us: Using the Enneagram to Create a Thriving Gospel-Centered Marriage
