Christianity Today Book Award 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 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 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? This expanded edition includes a guide for groups to use both in discussing the book content and in learning to practice silence together.

The world around us teems with chaos and noise. We can change this turmoil by first changing the turmoil within us. That’s what Quiet Prayer is all about. In Quiet Prayer, bestselling author Marie Chapian introduces readers to the ancient Christian tradition of solitude and meditation—a way of being in the presence of God based on silence and stillness. She answers questions Christians may have, such as: Is it Christian to meditate? What is Quiet Prayer meditation? What are the benefits of Quiet Prayer? Through learning about the history of Christian meditation and practicing with Marie’s step-by-step guided meditations in the book, you can lean deeper into the Lord’s call to “Be still, and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10).

A magical story of friendship and healing between Lydie Jim, an eighty-two-year-old native Tlingit elder from the Yukon, and Sylvia Hardy, a twenty-something university student with a tragic past.

In the early 1900s, S.D. Gordon was a widely travelled speaker in high demand. A prolific author, he wrote more than 25 highly popular devotional books. Gordon ministered the deep things of God, although he was not an ordained minister. A plain man, controlled by a deep desire to edify God's people, he won the respect of the learned and at the same time the affection of the simple. He developed a quiet style of devotional speaking which was quite the opposite of the powerful oratory which dominated the pulpit style of that period. His quiet manner, simplicity, and gentle spirit won for him a great following wherever he went. In this book, Gordon shares profound insights on Christ as he is depicted in the apocalyptic imagery of the book of Revelation.
