🎯 Where Should I Start?
ⓘ About J. Brent Bill
In this book, the author gives a synopsis of Christian and biblical practices of Silence. You will get to hear the story of Elijah and his encounter with God. It is only after secluding himself that Elijah heard the whisper or still small voice from God. The author also suggests ways Christians can incorporate Silence in their worship. Just like him and his Friends Meetings that he organizes in his home, the modern church should schedule Sunday meetings where the community can come together and experience God’s presence in sheer Silence. He is sure that individual or communal Silence would lead to a deeper relationship with God. This book is perfect if you are on a spiritual journey, and you want to follow God as Jesus did.
