About

"As a gospel singer and songwriter who desires to draw people into closer connections with God, I know the importance of making room for God in our daily schedules, and I pray readers will use this treasure to help them do just that. ... If you've been asking for a sign as to whether it's time to get alone with God, Press Pause is it." – CeCe Winans, from the foreword
Why Quiet Time Is the Most Important "To Do" of the Day
Do you long for a deeper connection with God but struggle to find the time?
Between your personal life, work, and responsibilities, it's easy to feel like quiet time with God is just another sacrifice. This is your invitation to pause, pivot, and discover renewed peace and purpose. In Press Pause, Karynthia Glasper Phillips takes you on a transformative journey that combines biblical reflections with practical steps to help you disconnect from the chaos and truly reconnect with God, making room for quiet time even if you feel you have no time.
In this book Phillips provides a biblical foundation for why quiet time with God is vital to the Christian life and helps you evaluate where you are in your relationship with God. The book concludes with a seven-day retreat guide, providing an immediate opportunity to let go of distractions, embrace stillness, and step into the fullness of God's presence.
In this book, you'll discover

- a renewed awareness of God's presence,
- how time in private with God can have lasting effects in your public life,
- practical guidance to help you pause on purpose in quiet time with God,
- how physical well-being and spiritual health are intertwined, and
- how a healthy spiritual life leads to greater care for others and better decisions at home, work, and in society.
Press Pause invites you to intentionally pause amid the stress and busyness of life-not by adding more to your schedule but by finding ways to integrate God into the moments you already have. If you're seeking a deeper connection with God in the midst of your fast-paced life, this book is for you.
Learn how spending time with God helps you fulfill your purpose, refreshes your spirit, and cares for your body as God's temple. No matter where you are in your relationship with God, pressing pause will allow you to refocus, gain clarity, and receive spiritual guidance for your daily life.

Reviews

"Press Pause is a book written for a time such as this. It's an invitation for every woman who is longing to live with greater intention and divine purpose. Author Karynthia Glasper Phillips offers encouragement in a gentle voice, even as she urges us on to boldness. This book is written with a strong foundation of biblical wisdom for women navigating full lives while seeking deeper intimacy with God. She reminds us God doesn't demand perfection-he calls us to progress, rooted in grace and filled with the Spirit's power. It's a must-read for anyone ready to pursue the 'more' of God in the middle of real life."
Edie Melson, director of the Blue Ridge Mountains Christian Writers Conference
"In Press Pause, Karynthia Glasper Phillips extends an invitation to step away from the noise and rediscover the joy of unhurried time with God. She reminds us that quiet time isn't just another task to check off our to-do list but a lifeline that restores peace, clarity, and strength. What I appreciate most is how she weaves together the practical with deep spiritual insight and biblical wisdom. The included seven-day retreat guide serves as a gentle companion for anyone who longs tobe with God, making the practice of daily quiet time not just an ideal to aspire to but a reality to be lived."
Saundra Dalton-Smith, physician-researcher and author of Sacred Rest
