Book Description
It seems that more and more people are stressed these days. We have so many technological advances than those who have come before us, but we seem less in control and in management of our lives. A very basic need for all of us as Christians is the need to sit still-to simply learn to sit still with God and grow to know Him intimately. We need to learn that in sitting with our heavenly Father that He identifies Himself and speaks to us, allowing us to get to know Him more personally and to become acquainted with Him. It is in this kind of fellowship with Father that we begin to see the need to be still and quiet before Him and grow to enjoy the great benefits of such a relationship. The more we grow to know Him, the quieter our minds and hearts will become.

Book Description
City living is busy, stressful, and noisy. It generates a lifestyle of haste with an addiction to quick fixes. It feels impossible to find quiet, to rest, and to think deeply. Our longing is to experience enduring peace, stronger relationships, and a better sense of our unique place in the world. To do so, we must hunger for life as it is meant to be—connected to its Source and maturing into fullness and fruitfulness. This requires that we become familiar with silence as a place to visit and feel at home in. For it is in silence that we encounter ourselves, others, and God in radical ways. Let this volume, movingly told through personal narrative, help you make your way to the land of silence and be amazed at how it impacts your life as you grow in peace, patience, and passion.

Book Description
From the Tea Party to the Occupy Movement to the Arab Spring, we live in a day where economic failure, rage and tragedy are common place. How do we survive all of this chaos and confusion? How do we find a real relationship with God when we live in a frantic, high paced, topsy-turvy world? Psalm 46 describes a time that is amazingly similar to our own time. The Psalm was written during a time of catastrophes. He describes earthquakes, landslides, floods, economic failure, kingdoms collapsing, and the people raging. It is during these times that we have the greatest opportunities to know God. This is when we need Him the most and when most are too busy to take the time. God comes to us and says, "Don't fear, have faith"? He doesn't remove these problems from our lives. He doesn't wave a magic wand to eliminate all the chaos and catastrophes from your life. God does, however, give you a coping mechanism. It is called faith. There are eleven verses in Psalm 46. In ten of these verses the psalmist is speaking about God; in only one verse is God speaking to the psalmist. The psalmist spends a lot of time crying to God about the problems of his life and in the world around him. This is something we are all familiar with. We do the same thing. What we need to see is what God said to the psalmist - and to us!
