From the French Abbey of St Wandrille to the abandoned and awesome Rock Monasteries of Cappadocia in Turkey, the celebrated travel writer Patrick Leigh Fermor studies the rigorous contemplative lives of the monks and the timeless beauty of their monastic surroundings. In his occasional retreats, the peaceful solitude and the calm enchantment of the monasteries was passed on as a kind of 'supernatural windfall' which A Time to Keep Silence so effortlessly records.

A personal and cultural exploration of silence and its value in our lives—“[an] artful book, mixing autobiography, travel writing, meditation, and essay” (Independent, UK). In her late forties, after a noisy upbringing as one of six children and adulthood as a vocal feminist and mother, Sara Maitland found herself living alone in the country and, to her surprise, falling in love with silence. In this fascinating, intelligent, and beautifully written book, Maitland describes how she began to explore this new love, spending periods of silence in the Sinai desert, the Scottish hills, and a remote cottage on the Isle of Skye. Maitland also delves deep into the rich cultural history of silence, exploring its significance in fairy tale and myth, its importance to the Western and Eastern religious traditions, and its use in psychoanalysis and artistic expression. Her story culminates in her building a hermitage on an isolated moor in Galloway. “Her book is probably unique in its subject, and timely, because good, healing silence is becoming hard to find, and we may not know we need it” (Guardian, UK).

This book is a program of contemplative study and monastic formation offered for explorers who are between religions, those who have abandoned faith but yet seek, those who are interspiritual or multi-religious, or those who are rooted in their faith tradition and are on the edge of going deeper. This is both path and accompaniment for the journey, offering a contemplative frame and everyday spiritual practices for all who have a dawning sense that at the heart of all religious and spiritual traditions lies a truth-we have what we need inside each of us to co-create with God the embodiment of a sacred life on Earth. Included are spiritual practices, journal reflections, meditative exercises, and examples of a daily schedule, personal vow, rule of life, and ceremony of profession that stabilize andaffirm a new monastic way of life.

This book is about silence and power and how they interact. It argues that only by studying how silence works—how it is implicated in the construction of meaning—can we arrive at the elusive roots of power in all its dimensions. Silence becomes the currency of power by delineating the margins or what we perceive and through a sleight of hand wherein behaviors undertaken in the service of self-interest appear instead as inevitable and devoid of human agency. The theoretical load of this argument is carried by vivid ethnographic material dealing with music, linguistic behavior, racial conflicts, work dislocations, and the construction of anthropological subjects and texts.

What is silence? Where can it be found? Why is it now more important than ever? In 1993, Norwegian explorer Erling Kagge spent fifty days walking solo across Antarctica, becoming the first person to reach the South Pole alone, accompanied only by a radio whose batteries he had removed before setting out. In this book. an astonishing and transformative meditation, Kagge explores the silence around us, the silence within us, and the silence we must create. By recounting his own experiences and discussing the observations of poets, artists, and explorers, Kagge shows us why silence is essential to sanity and happiness—and how it can open doors to wonder and gratitude.

In this groundbreaking new book by Gordon and Sandra Lawrence, the complex mysteries of Revelation are divided into SEVEN BASIC STAGES in an attempt to provide the reader with a comprehensive view of past history and future prophecy. It is the author's hope to paint a realistic picture of the second coming of Christ, and to prepare the next generation of Christians for inevitable persecution and unprecedented global crisis. Section 1, Chapters 1-4 provide critical background information: Israel, The Apple of God's eye; The Spirit of Amalek; Daniel, Man of Prophecy; The Olivet Discourse; Section 2, Chapters 1-7 outline the book of Revelation as follows: The Beginning of Birth Pangs; The Tribulation; Gathering His Church; The Wrath of God Begins; The Day of Atonement; The Millennium; The New Jerusalem; Lawrence addresses what he calls 'the great theological debate of the 21st century': the issue of the Pre-Tribulation Rapture vs the Pre-Wrath rapture of the Church. The Day of Atonement chapter provides unique scriptural insight called: The Journey of the Mighty Angel. The author describes this book as: expositional, encyclopedic and editorial. The reader will delight, perhaps for the first time, in learning the systematic progression of events that break the code of end-time mystery. Be prepared to learn new truth from the pages of scripture. A great tool for small group study!
