I have to say that I really enjoyed this book! It is relatively short and has short chapters with ways to practice silence and solitude at the end of each chapter. This book came at a great time for me spiritually, as I am seeking to connect to God in deeper ways. The book is written in a kind of

 journal format and the author is very open and transparent with her struggles in her own process of seeking God. I'd recommend this book for Christians looking to slow down and connect more deeply with God.

In a moment of hurt, confusion, and frustration I happened to have find this book on my book shelf and decided, why not. After reading chapter one, I knew this book would be something that would change my life and my walk with Christ.

 she follows the story of Elijah to outline how to hear Jesus in an often loud and confusing world. Ruth walks you through, chapter by chapter, on how to begin or extend your quite time, quite time, and/or mediation time. Following each chapter, there is an application part that helps sum up what you read and also take the time to put into practice what the chapter talks about.

For someone who hadn't really spent a lot of time in silence, this book was great to learn how to quite my mind and enter into a time where I can be real and honest with Jesus. This is one of those books that I will re-read once a year as I feel that no matter where you are in your walk, this book will be helpful to you!

I also recommend it as a small group study too.
