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.

I truly loved listening to this book. I have listened to it as part of my daily walk. I has become my quiet time; to first listen to a chapter and then listen to God. The pace and peacefulness of the audio prepares me to slow down. Slowing down is something I am working on. This practice is enabling God to work deeply in me to heal and to bring joy.

My Sabbaths are sweeter when utilizing the practice portions of the book. I now want to tattoo a broom tree on my flesh just to forever memorialize how this book has guided me to a better understanding of my sorrow and suffering, desperation and desire, all transformed in solitude and silence…because God is in the silence.

Transformative!

Most excellent book. Best spiritual “how to“ on market. I felt like I was right there with her, going along. She helped me out a name to this desire I have, this hunger. I was starved for Jesus and I hunger for, yearn for more of the Holy Spirit.

Her story telling us superb!

A difficult but very necessary read. “Stop the kicking and screaming, surrender to the silence, the silence after the chaos full of the presence of God.”

What a well-written invitation to experiencing silence and solitude. I love how she doesn’t assume your version will be like everyone else’s and then she breaks it down to understandable and doable components. It was well narrated also. Her soothing voice made it easier to practice the ideas she provides at the end of each chapter. I highly recommend.

Incredible book
