Synopsis

This work is the first of its kind: other journals in this area tend to specialise in one particular strand of spirituality, for example Julian or Jesuit. An emphasis on practical application will commend the journal to those looking for fresh ideas as well as intellectual stimulation and inspiration. It reflects the growing desire to build stillness into the Christian life and draws from across the Christian spectrum to support this. This three times a year journal is for Christians who are looking for new ways to deepen and develop their faith. It offers an opportunity to rest and re-energise in God's presence, balancing ideas for withdrawal and retreat with inspiration for response and action. It features articles, prayers, poems, regular contributors and an emphasis on reader involvement will make the journal a pleasure to dip into again and again. In the words of Revd Canon David Adam 'Let those who risk taking 'time out' to read "Quiet Spaces" be filled with the wonder, awe and beauty of what God presents to them each day.' It features: "Wilderness: The Place of Testing" - Alastair Campbell; "Around the World, Around the Corner" - Fleur Dorrell; "Can You Hear the Singing?" - Pamela Evans; "Writing for the Soul" - Wendy Bray; "The Desert of Mind-Sickness" - Jenny Robertson; "Music for the Soul" - Gordon Giles; "Reading Groups" - Stephanie Heald; "God of the Valley" - Steve Griffiths; "Retreats in the Desert" - Emma Loveridge; "St Brendan the Navigator" - Emma Garrow; "Survival Kit" - Naomi Starkey; and, "Musings of a Middle-Aged Mystic" - Veronica Zundel.
