Contraportada:

"Thou hast made us for thyself and restless is our heart until it comes to rest in Thee."
--St. Augustine, Confessions
All spiritual disciplines take practice to incorporate into our daily lives, but two can be particularly difficult to cultivate today: simplicity and silence. We live in a time when so much is vying for our attention--noise has become our natural habitat and distraction is a common companion. But God encourages us to seek him and meet with him, uninterrupted. So how do we put these disciplines into practice?
This Bible study will help you focus on what the Lord is saying to you in the midst of the clutter of daily life. It could mean a reordering of priorities, but the take-away is worth it. Simplicity and silence are daily practices that will form the foundation for a life of spiritual fruitfulness.
The purpose of this study guide series is to help you use spiritual practices to make your own life richer, fuller, and deeper. It can be used as a "standalone" Bible study guide for groups or individual use, or as a companion alongside the Everyday Matters Bible for Women. The twenty-four spiritual practices are Acceptance, Bible Study & Meditation, Celebration, Community, Confession, Contemplation, Faith, Fasting, Forgiveness, Gratitude, Hospitality, Justice, Mentoring, Outreach, Prayer, Reconciliation, Sabbath & Rest, Service, Silence, Simplicity, Solitude, Stewardship, Submission, and Worship.
