Publisher's Summary

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.

Answer to my prayer 🙏

I had been doing a 40 days of devotion and prayer challenge when this book crossed my path. while I was out and about one day - for no specific reason - I ended up at a used bookstore and this book title caught my eye. The title resonated so deeply with what I was currently challenging myself to do. I tried reading the book but as someone whom is a busy mom with a neurodivergent mind I found I was being distracted often. The synchronicities and the coincidences relating to the name Elijah in my life were very prominent weeks prior to my encounter with this book, so naturally -upon reading the first couple paragraphs of the book- I knew that this was something that I was guided to and that I just had to make time too read it. I was SO thankful that this book was available on audible. The message of this book was profound, uplifting and calming for my ‘need to produce’ mind. I know this book will remain on my night stand as a reminder to have sacred eyes, pause, reflect and BE with God just as I am. I recommend this book to the seekers who are caught in their not enoughness, and seeking a deeper communion with the Lord. This will be a staple book in my life going forward and will be my go to when my mind grows weary. Thank you for this incredible work to keep me grounded, authentic and transparent in my intimate relationship with God. Many blessings to you!
