Description
Here is an invitation to experience God in the prayerful moments of silent meditation. 'Sounding the Silence' guides our prayer so that we can escape the chaos and distractions that life sometimes gives us and just sit, in 'silence,' with God. Inspired by the Carthusian tradition of silent prayer, Skinner offers simple models of praying that are both inviting and safe, proving that anyone can pray and that no prayer is the same. It provides weekly readings based on a simple half hour of stillness and threaded together to provide a year long exploration of silence. The book can be used individually or by Catholic and ecumenical prayer groups, RCIA team members, worship team members, and parish or diocesan staff members. Published by Liturgy Training Publications.
