About this ebook
This book will view the subject of silence through a religious lens while focusing primarily on what I call “holy silence.” Holy Silence is both the language of God and the sacred space where we meet God. Here we meet God not so much in conversation as much as in communion. We live in a world filled with noise and chaos. In order to hear God’s voice speaking in silence, we must physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually come apart from the world to listen to God, hear and discern what God is saying in silence, and then obey.
