Sacred Space: The Art of Sacred Silence, Sacred Speech, and The Sacred Ear in the Echo of the Still Small Voice of God

by John Duncan

Sacred Space is a book for those who feel bottle-necked, overloaded, trapped... in other words-all of us. If your soul has been damaged by an overloaded schedule, an over-technologized mind that pushed aside time for the sacred, and an over-hyped consumer church that marginalized the sacred (Christ, the cross and the resurrection) you will find help on these pages. We need to slow down and make room for sacred space to renew our vision for life and our enthusiasm for living for Christ. The damaged soul can only find renewal when time given to the sacred opens hearts and minds to the joy of Christ. Be still and know that He is God. John Duncan is a pastor, scholar, husband, and father. As you read his books, his love for reading will become apparent. His favorite places to travel include Cambridge, England, the North Carolina mountains, and any beach with sand and water. John is a huge sports fan, especially of teams in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. His writing focuses on three spiritual focus, nature, and the classics.

Reviews

[Debi Stout · Rating 4 out of 5]

The very devices, gadgets, apps and other distractions that keep me from having that important and sacred time with God is often what keeps my blog going. Another factor is that social media is entertaining and draws me away from the pressures of my day to day life. I needed to be reminded that those very things draw me away from God. This book is a good reminder that I need to power down and new my life through Christ.

The concept of carving out specific time and space for reflection with God is what we all need and crave. I appreciated the fact that the author, John Duncan, was upfront and honest about his personal struggles. I also appreciated the vulnerability he shows in his own life. This book is very timely for me and for society at large.

I received this book from Ascot Media Group, Inc. without cost in exchange for my honest review and unbiased opinion.
