Book excerpt: Within a world of incessant noise and chaos, Quiet is an invitation to seek God in stillness, silence and contemplation. Each chapter concludes with a contemplative practice for the reader. It is a helpful read for both individuals and small groups. Chronicling the author's personal journey, AJ Sherrill reveals how contemplative prayer practices compliment other forms of prayer prevalent in the Church such as intercessory, prophetic, and abiding prayer. If you find yourself longing for greater awareness, intimacy and peace with God, this resource aims to open more possibilities through prayer than many previously believe are available. It is a particular helpful guide for those who find themselves in urban and suburban contexts, where the decibel level of life has never been louder. Not only is this book relevant today, but also captures the thoughts and practices of many saints of times past. Quiet has been endorsed by Father Richard Rohr (Author and Franciscan Monk), Jon Tyson (Author and Lead Pastor of Trinity Grace Church in Manhattan) and Skye Jethani (Author and Editor at Christianity Today).
