Synopsis

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?

Goodreads review by Ashley

I think I will use this book and refer back to it for the rest of my life. It was full of such helpful thoughts and ideas, and I have adopted a few new concrete practices that I hope will blossom more trust in my heart, and then overflow in more tangible love!! Thankfully, this book did not encourag......more

Goodreads review by Nathan

Some books inform the mind, while others entertain the imagination. This book does something that many attempt, but very few actually accomplish: change the life of the reader. I am convinced that the reason so many people have stopped growing in their faith is not because they are overcome with sin......more
