Brumbaugh https://www.nlbrumbaugh.com/?post_type=book&p=8922 BE STILL AND LISTEN by Amos Smith (Paraclete Press, 2018)

I can say I truly enjoyed this book. It speaks my language. If you are on a search to know God and follow him, you will find value in this book. Many treasures for life and soul exist in the pages of Be Still and Listen. Read this book as a way to mine its reflective loveliness on the life hid in Christ, the knowing of fullness and joy, the apprehending of peace and love in increasing measure: all this as one absorbs the ancient truths through centering of the soul in Christ. Do this during times of meditation by sitting alone with God and listening in the silence. Apprehend what it has to offer through the profound practice of centering prayer. I particularly like Chapter 9, Finding Refuge, for I have experienced this unique phenomenon, this same delight in ‘refuge’ similar as has the author, Amos Smith. There is nothing quite like it. Get away from it all and center your being in the contemplative silences of Christ in the real.
