Feedback from 3-Minute Retreaters:

The 3-Minute Retreat is the BEST way to start my day. Patricia

Some days 3 minutes is all I have for me. There is no better way to start my mind thinking and praising God for all the good he has done in my life. Jackie

More often than not, they seem to have been written just for me, where I am, right now! Anne

I love the 3-Minute Retreat because it centers my day on what is true, real, and life-giving. Derrell

No matter what time of day I read it...it is the best 3 minutes of my day. Adela

I have the 3-Minute Retreat app and it’s a great way to slow down, reflect on something deeper, and prepare for the day before delving into the emails and tasks of the day. The app is incredibly handy with lovely graphics and music to transport you. Kamaria It is a little oasis of peace in my day – a chance to rejoice in the silence and refresh the heart and the soul.
