Invitation to Solitude and Silence
“I find books in the genre of the contemplative life are often written by mystics who occupy some rarified, ethereal realm in which I don’t seem to live. Not so with Ruth Haley Barton’s Invitation to Solitude and Silence. Ruth takes us on her journey into solitude and silence as one, like most of us, who must learn to commune with God in the muchness of life.”
Greg Ogden, author of Discipleship Essentials and executive pastor of discipleship, Christ Church of Oak Brook
Much of our faith and practice is about words—preaching, teaching, talking with others. Yet all of these words are not enough to take us into the real presence of God where we can hear his voice. This audio book is an invitation to you to meet God deeply and fully outside the demands and noise of daily life. It is an invitation to the adventure of spiritual transformation in the deepest places. It is an invitation to solitude and silence. The beauty of a true invitation is that we really do have a choice about embarking on this adventure. God extends the invitation, but He honors our freedom and will not push Himself where he is not wanted. Instead, he waits for us to respond from the depths of our desire. Will you say yes?
