Quiet Prayer by Marie Chapian

Here is the book summary:

The world around us teems with chaos and noise. We can change this turmoil by first changing the turmoil within us. That’s what Quiet Prayer is all about.

In Quiet Prayer, bestselling author Marie Chapian introduces readers to the ancient Christian tradition of solitude and meditation—a way of being in the presence of God based on silence and stillness. She answers questions Christians may have, such as:

·       Is it Christian to meditate?

·       What is Quiet Prayer meditation?

·       What are the benefits of Quiet Prayer?

Through learning about the history of Christian meditation and practicing with Marie’s step-by-step guided meditations in the book, you can lean deeper into the Lord’s call to “Be still, and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10).

And now, my review:

Quiet Prayer by Marie Chapian is an informative book that starts with the history of contemplative prayer and moves to examples of practicing this in one’s life today.  As a silent retreat leader, I was drawn to check out this book.  I was looking for a Protestant book that led me in this practice.  I found that she gave favorable insight. I’m thankful to have read this one and recommend this to others.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
