Be Still: Learning to Know He is God

Psalm 46:10 says, "Be still, and know that I am God." The comma in that sentence is the comma that changes everything. Before you can know that He is God, you must first be still. Perhaps you haven't been able to know God like you want to, and maybe - just maybe - it's because you haven't learned to truly be still. This book chronicles a journey of learning to be still in order to know God. Sometimes it's easier to learn if you can peek at another person's experience, and if that is true for you, welcome a journey of God at work. You won't find a formula within these pages. No formulas exist. Your journey won't look like this one, and that's okay. But it can serve as a guide to help you understand how to foster your own experience of calming, sitting, listening, and learning.
