Synopsis

Transform Your Quiet Time
Today’s world is all about now―a fast-moving, high-speed, on-demand lifestyle. But has this pace changed how we study the Bible?

Our relationship with God is a journey, a walk where we grow closer to him each day. So it makes sense that reading and understanding scripture is a continual experience, not just a moment.

This innovative devotional is designed to change how you interact with God’s Word. The Message: Solo revolves around lectio divina, or “divine reading,” an ancient approach to exploring Scripture updated for today’s readers. Each devotion delivers a unique, contemplative study that will encourage you to:

• Read: Uncover biblical wisdom and revelations as you learn to read without the typical limitations that often hinder Bible reading.
• Think: Immerse yourself in the passages as you place yourself in the story or meditate on words and phrases.
• Pray: Connect with him through listening prayer and praise as you encounter new ways to communicate with God.
• Live: Rest, reflect, or act as you discover how to take the Word with you throughout the day.

Features include:

• An introduction to the lectio divina style of study
• Guided devotions with a day for reflection every week
• A topical index for finding issues that impact your life
• Numbered devotions so you can start anytime and never fall behind
