Be Still: 31 Days to a Deeper Meditative Prayer Life

by Judge Reinhold, Amy Reinhold, Max Lucado

Stop Breathe Listen Be Still

In a world that moves too fast and places little value on quiet times, the practice of contemplative prayer offers rest to your soul and invites God's presence into your life.

This thoughtful book, inspired by the best-selling DVD of the same name, invites you into the joy and peace that can be found in the age-old practice of contemplative prayer and features writings from some of today's most highly respected authors and speakers,

• Max Lucado

• Dr. Henry Cloud

• Philip Yancey

• Michelle McKinney Hammond

• Richard Foster

• Dallas Willard

• Dr. Calvin Miller

• Ken Gire

In these pages you will be introduced to the practice of lectio divina , which simply means "sacred reading." Using Scripture and silence, you will learn to invite God's presence and direction into your life through the thirty-one meditations in this beautifully illustrated book.

You don't have to be a scholar or a saint to experience contemplative prayer or enjoy God's divine companionship. As you walk through these thirty-one days, you will grow daily into a deeper, more satisfying prayer life with God. Open the book. Be still. Find rest for your soul.

Compiled by Amy and Judge Reinhold.

[Barbara Campbell]

A nice low-key devotional

[Jennifer Honeycutt]

Very, very good! I checked this one out of the library and I think I might want to buy it and own it. I love Judge Reinhold from all of those crazy 80's movies ("Fast Times at Ridgemont High" and "Beverly Hills Cop"). It is neat that he is a Christian now. Wonderful, meditative book with lots of quotes and snippets from other authors.

Tired of busy being a word you describe yourself? Ready to seriously learn to sit still and just be in the presence of your God? This will help you find your way back to the long-lost discipline of silence before the Lord.
