A profound exploration of the transformative effects of solitude, silence, and stillness from the New York Times bestselling author of Practicing the Way and The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry.
In a world filled with noise, busyness, and constant stimulation, John Mark Comer invites readers to rediscover an ancient path centered on quietness. Drawing on the wisdom of spiritual thinkers and contemplative practices, Comer shows how this path equips us to face our fears, shame, and inner noise, leading to a deeper, more fulfilling life with God.
Amid lives inundated with noise and constant stimulation, Comer offers a refreshing alternative, a way to step away from the chaos and find peace in the still, silent presence of God.
Where The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry disarmed the power of busyness, The Power of Quiet identifies noise as a key enemy of the spiritual life. Quietness is the antidote. It is in quietness that the Holy Spirit works to remove our emotional burdens, accumulated over a lifetime, until the voice of the enemy is defeated by the voice of God, doubt gives way to faith, lies are exposed, the truth sets our hearts free, and we know the love of God at a deeper, experiential level. John Mark Comer is the founding pastor of Bridgetown Church in Portland, Oregon, a teacher and writer with Practicing the Way, and the bestselling author of multiple books, including The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry, Live No Lies, and Practicing the Way.
