In the midst of our noisy, fast-paced world, finding moments of stillness can seem impossible, and the idea of staying silent, perhaps even a little daunting. Yet, these moments are where true peace and spiritual depth reside. A Season of Silence invites you to embark on a transformative journey through the practice of silent, listening prayer. Over 40 days, this book offers daily steps that will gradually and gently guide you into a richer and deeper experience of contemplative silence. Each day offers a short reflection, a thought-provoking quotation from the Bible and other wisdom sources, and practical exercises to help you as you begin to cultivate a lifelong habit of contemplative silence. This isn’t just about quieting external noise - it's about fostering an inner stillness that continues to resonate throughout your daily activities, bringing clarity, peace, and a profound sense of presence. Whether you're seeking a structured spiritual practice, a retreat from the chaos of everyday life, or a way to deepen your connection with the divine, this book is an invitation and practical guide to help you pause, listen, and discover the transformative power of silence.
'In our noisy world, deliberately cultivating and seeking out silence is more important than ever. As Christians we know this, but we're so very rarely guided through the mechanics of how to enter into it with the kind of companionable advice Joshua Rey provides here. Using poetry, scripture, ancient wisdom and contemporary creative images, A Season of Silence gradually eases the reader into the silence, increasing our tolerance to a practice which is as deceptively difficult as it is nourishing.'
