About this listen

 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.

Having just started on the journey of stillness and solitude myself. I found this book extremely helpful. The author expresses many of my own thoughts experiences and feelings. Just what I needed to read at this point in my life. She was honest and real and has added to my knowledge of this subject in a positive way.

I found this audio book really helpful. It has given me a deeper understanding of the transformative power of time alone with God and provides examples of how to connect with God through silence. I’ve now purchased a copy of the book to help me put the practical exercises into practice.

Very insightful, encouraging and helpful

this books has so much to say I want to hear but alas the narrator is reading it in such a way it is hard to get past the start. the author is gifted but should have trusted someone else better equipped to deliver her words on audio. I will seek out the book in print.

important book in need of better narration
