Flee, Be Silent, Pray: Ancient Prayers For Anxious Christians

Anxious, Results-Driven Christians can never pray enough, serve enough, or study enough. But what if God is calling us not to frenzied activity but to a simple spiritual encounter? In Flee, Be Silent, Pray, contemplative retreat leader Ed Cyzewski guides readers out of the anxiety factory of contemporary Christianity and toward a God whose love astounds those who are quiet long enough to receive it. Emerging from the centuries-old wisdom of the church, Christian spiritual practices are a treasure trove for anxious believers. With helpful guidance into solitude, contemplative prayer, and practices such as lectio divina and the Examen, Cyzewski leads us toward the Christ whose burden is light. Ready to shed the fear of the false self and the exhaustion of a duty-driven faith? Flee. Be silent. Pray. Book jacket.
