A Contemplative Book

Rich Lewis appreciates a contemplative walk with God. The kind spiritual living which includes daily times set aside for listening in silence with God. Through Twitter he and I connected because of “Healing the Divide: Recovering Christianity’s Mystic Roots” (RCMR) by Amos Smith.

Rich is a part of the RCMR mystic movement, which highlights Christian truth through the spiritual discipline of meditation. He has written a book on centering prayer, a practice that is helpful in developing a centered spiritual life.

This week Rich shared a review of my book. Here is part of his review and a link to his post. I hope you will check out some of his other blog posts and his free ebook, Centering Prayer. It is a practice I highly recommend.

BOOK REVIEW by Rich Lewis

The Meeting Place: Moments with God at Lookout Point by N. L. Brumbaugh

I am excited to share with you my review of The Meeting Place: Moments with God by N. L. Brumbaugh. Norma is an author, a writer, a speaker, a contemplative and a orchardist. Learn more about Norma at her web site.

I thoroughly enjoyed The Meeting Place: Moments with God at Lookout Point by N. L. Brumbaugh. We all need to take extended time with God as she has shared. “Every week this year I want to spend one hour with you at this spot, to think on you, to pray, to worship, to listen to learn, to praise, to thank, to absorb your truth, your lessons, your life.”norma

Each week, N. L. Brumbaugh shared her innermost joys, concerns and cries for help to God. She then paused and importantly let God respond. I admit, at first I was confused and then it dawned on me. She quietly listened to God and then wrote down what God spoke deep within her. What a wonderful and healthy exercise. I have just begun to do so too.

God unconditionally loves us! God desires to have a relationship with us. Our conversations with God are not meant to be one-sided: we talk and God listens. We are to speak to God and then shut up. We must sit quietly and listen for the inner voice of God.
