Answering God's Call to Quiet: Finding Strength and Peace for a Pressured Life

by Neva Coyle

Where can women turn when the demands of schedules and all the accompanying noises crowd our busy days? Where do we go to escape the pressures and mental pollutants of everyday life? People need us. They want us. So much demands our attention so much that we lose both time and desire for quietness. Yet God wants to usher us into His peace and quiet in the exteriors of our lives and in our inner selves. "Come away," Jesus says. Experiencing God in new, quieter ways begins by learning to still our souls. Answering God's Call to Quiet gives clear and inviting direction for those who long to linger in God's presence and sense His nearness. Neva Coyle shows how even the busiest Christian can incorporate devotional quietness as a part of daily life. Her practical insights and biblical illustrations invite you to discover for yourself the strength found in moments of silence and how you can take that quiet with you into the whole of life. Designed to fit easily into a busy schedule, day by day this study will help you gain strength and peace by balancing your life with moments of stillness and silence in His presence.
