The Example of Jesus Christ: Solitude and Silence

To celebrate the launch of the expanded edition of Invitation to Solitude and Silence we’ve posted a series of video clips from an interview done at Mountain Christian Church.

In this expanded edition of the award-winning book, Invitation to Solitude and Silence, spiritual director Ruth Haley Barton guides individuals on a step-by-step journey into solitude and silence and NOW also provides guidance for groups who would like share their experiences together. This spiritual formation resource is ideal for small groups, Sunday School classes, retreat groups, and spiritual friends.

Buy it on Amazon, purchase a signed copy in the Transforming Center Resources store, or visit select retail locations. If you are interested in purchasing more than nine copies, visit the publisher’s website or call them at 1-800-843-9487 to learn about volume and other discounts.

A special thanks goes out to Kelly Kastens for inviting Ruth to do this interview and sharing it with the Transforming Center.
