Recensioner i media

The renewed call to contemplative life is one of the deeper challenges to contemporary culture. In a world of noise and distraction, many are turning to silence and attentiveness. In an age of anger and conspicuous consumption, many now hunger for serenity and simplicity. In our climates of fear and fanaticism, many long for fathomless faith and measured contemplation. This remarkable book will prompt some profound soul-searching for all who take time to dwell on its’ message. The engaging reflections that each author provides will surely lead to a renewed vocation – to go deeper with God in the shallows of our time.
