What I Have Heard in Silence

Every year, most of us spend hours planning a vacation that only lasts about one week. How much time do you spend on planning your permanent vacation in heaven? What I Have Heard in Silence: A Workbook for Entering the Kingdom of Heaven addresses a wide variety of topics that contribute to deepening ones faith and preparing for Gods kingdom. The author, Sam V. Chiarella, has fashioned individual collections of images, passages from the Bible, short narratives, insightful reflections, and opportunities for individual responses. Each grouping focuses on a particular topic. Readers journeying through the workbook will consider themes like faith, giving, humility, love, pain, peace, sacrifice, service, temptation, and trust.

When life throws up a barrier blocking ones progress toward the heavenly goals of a spiritual life, the reminders that What I Have Heard in Silence offers will serve as guides for devoting ones energy and attention to living each day with ones gaze set on the kingdom of heaven. After devoting a few minutes to each chapters topic, one can face the days routines and surprises with renewed vigor.

When you have come to the point in your spiritual journey when the hurdles of daily life feel as though they have grown and the hubbub of your waking hours begins to drown out the quiet voice of Gods encouragement, then What I Have Heard in Silence: A Workbook for Entering the Kingdom of Heaven can be your guide to getting your life back into balance and to setting your sights on the kingdom of God.
