Silence - the Sacred Art Preparing to Practice

For many of us, silence is a luxury. Perhaps we might grab a bit of it before we head out the door in the morning. Or we might enjoy a little silence in those never-never land moments before we fall exhausted into sleep at night. But few of us think we might actually require silence in order to live healthy, balanced, productive lives. This inspiring and practical guide shows you why you need regular periods of silence in your everyday life in order to grow deeper in your spiritual communion with others and with God. Drawing primarily from the Judeo-Christian tradition yet accessible to people of all faiths, it explores the mystery and awe of silence as a sacred art, providing ways you can incorporate silence into daily life. It shows how silence is a necessary condition for meditation, that practice of reflection which helps us assimilate our engagement with divine presence.Zimmerman, Joyce Ann is the author of 'Silence - the Sacred Art Preparing to Practice', published 2007 under ISBN 9781594732256 and ISBN 1594732256.
