“I love this book. It's a beautiful introduction to the depths and riches of silence and of the Quaker tradition. I commend it to non-Quakers who want to learn more about the Quaker way, and to Quakers who want to deepen their faith and practice.”
“The practice of silence, in both its personal and its corporate expressions, is one of the special gifts Quakers have given to the larger Christian community. In Holy Silence J. Brent Bill unpacks this gift for us in vibrant colors and vivid detail. Holy Silence will deepen you, thicken you, and energize you. Get this book!”
“Brent Bill reminds us that silence is a dwindling resource that needs to be preserved for the sake of our souls. If you are seeking to hear God's Spirit beyond the din, follow Bill's instructions. Relax your body and mind. Breathe deeply. Pick up this book. And read. Can you imagine how silence might change your life?”
