De: Ruth Haley Barton

Narrado por: Ruth Haley Barton

Ruth Haley Barton describes how she has discovered the real presence of God, the God who is present through the practice of solitude and silence. Her audiobook invites you to meet God deeply and fully outside the demands and noise of daily life. It is a call to the adventure of spiritual transformation, an adventure that will lead you to freedom and authenticity, allowing you to become the person God created you to be.

In Invitation to Solitude and Silence, Barton offers spiritual guidance for your journey, helping you to hear God's call more clearly and showing you concrete ways to say yes. Chapter by chapter, she combines teaching and reflection on different aspects of the journey with activities and disciplines that will help you to practice solitude and silence. Barton offers the prophet Elijah as a biblical guide for your journey. And she offers her own perspective to help you understand the ups and downs you might experience along the way.

Words from a wise woman who is living her faith

I truly loved listening to this book. I have listened to it as part of my daily walk. I has become my quiet time; to first listen to a chapter and then listen to God. The pace and peacefulness of the audio prepares me to slow down. Slowing down is something I am working on. This practice is enabling God to work deeply in me to heal and to bring joy.

Transformational

If you're tired and longing for a word from God this is a must read!

Transformative!

My Sabbaths are sweeter when utilizing the practice portions of the book. I now want to tattoo a broom tree on my flesh just to forever memorialize how this book has guided me to a better understanding of my sorrow and suffering, desperation and desire, all transformed in solitude and silence…because God is in the silence.

I am grateful for this book.

Great strategies to help with prayer time with God. It helped me be aware of my time with God. Thank You Ruth.

Beautiful

Thank you Ruth. My soul needed this. Now to sustain the practice. Lord help me.

Centering

Amazing book with biblical and practical suggestions to achieve solitude. Providing guidance at the end of each chapter.

Further...for starters

If you have ever wondered about the practice of meditation, this is an excellent place to start. Ruth Barton began as an ordinary person hungering for something more. She provides the biblical basis, explores the benefits, and outlines the simple yet challenging practice of silence and solitude. An excellent start for those wanting to go further in their intimacy with God.

A MUST READ

If you're really serious about Solitude and Silence and living a life in the presence of God, this is the book to study. I say study because there is just too much to take hold of. it's brilliant!

Just what I needed.

I loved this book. I recommend it to anyone looking for help in being quiet with God. In a world that is constantly going and going, finding ways to slow down and just be are few and far between.

Her story telling us superb!

Most excellent book. Best spiritual “how to“ on market. I felt like I was right there with her, going along. She helped me out a name to this desire I have, this hunger. I was starved for Jesus and I hunger for, yearn for more of the Holy Spirit.
