Publisher Description
En Una invitación al silencio y quietud, Barton le ofrece al lector una guía espiritual para su viaje, de modo que pueda escuchar claramente el llamado de Dios, y le muestra una manera concreta de decir «sí». Ruth Haley Barton, ganadora del premio Christianity Today 2005 por su libro, explica cómo descubrió la presencia real de Dios, ese Dios que se hace presente a través de la práctica del silencio y la quietud. Su libro es una invitación a tener un encuentro pleno y profundo con Dios, lejos de las exigencias y el ruido de la vida cotidiana. Es un llamado a la aventura de vivir una transformación espiritual; una aventura que lo llevará a ser libre y auténtico y le permitirá llegar a ser esa persona que Dios en su designio creó. Much of our faith and practice is about words?preaching, teaching, talking with others. Yet all of these words are not enough to take us into the real presence of God where we can hear his voice. This book is an invitation to you to meet God deeply and fully outside the demands and noise of daily life. It is an invitation to solitude and silence. The beauty of a true invitation is that we really do have a choice about embarking on this adventure. God extends the invitation, but he honors our freedom and will not push himself where he is not wanted. Instead, he waits for us to respond from the depths of our desire. Will you say yes? This expanded edition includes a guide for groups to use both in discussing the book content and in learning to practice silence together.
