“C. M. Harrison grew up in Johannesburg, South Africa. One verse, “Be still and know that I am God,” stayed with him through childhood, a quiet echo of faith.
As an estate agent, Harrison experienced the highs and lows of life and career, moments of triumph and moments of deep struggle. At his lowest, when nothing else seemed to help, he turned to prayer. In that silence, a seed was planted—the inspiration to write his first book, Be Still and Know that I Am God”.
Excerpt From: C M Harrison. “Be Still and Know that I am God”.
In a world that moves faster than our ability to catch our breath, the concept of stillness is often overlooked, dismissed, or misunderstood. “Be Still and Know That I am God” is not just a book; it is a journey—a journey into the quiet spaces of the soul, where noise and distraction cannot reach. Through the eyes of Matthew James, we explore the transformative power of silence, surrender, and the presence of God that speaks not in shouts but in whispers.
This story is a reminder that peace is not found in achievements, possessions, or recognition, but in the patient act of stopping, listening, and trusting. It is for anyone who has felt the weight of exhaustion, the ache of restlessness, or the longing for something deeper than the constant demands of life.
As you read, may you discover along with Matthew that stillness is not merely an absence of noise—it is the presence of God waiting to meet you, guide you, and transform your heart.
