From the Back Cover
Perhaps you've always thought that going away on a residential Christian retreat is not for you. But can you still connect with God, even without special 'holy' places? This practical and flexible book says you can.
Gemma Simmonds begins by exploring how to let go of busyness. She covers traditional ways to meet God, such as lectio divina, imaginative contemplation and the Ignatian Examen. But she also delves deeply into how to use nature, art, music and the body as ways towards the divine. Each chapter concludes with suggestions that the reader can tailor to the time available.
Like a good spiritual guide, Dancing at the Still Point will help you to lead a rich, well-balanced life, and discover the God alive in the depths of your heart.
'A beautiful book, overflowing with inspirational insight and practical teaching.'
Brian Heasley, International Prayer Director, 24-7 Prayer
'Following the advice in this book will bring about human flourishing: being ourselves, yet more fully alive!'
David Wells, author, internationally renowned speaker, lecturer and teacher,
'A joyful, freeing guide.'
