Finding Stillness, Renewal, and Intimacy with God
There comes a time when the noise of life grows too loud, when your soul aches for a quiet place. This book is a gentle hand leading you into that stillness. It is written for the weary, the burdened, and the hungry—those who long to breathe again in the presence of God.
Here you will not find formulas or quick answers. Instead, you’ll be invited to linger. To sit with the Lord as Brother Lawrence did in his kitchen. To learn from the stories of Walter Beuttler, Andrew Murray, and the praying sisters of the Hebrides. To catch the fire of past awakenings and allow their embers to stir your own heart.
Within these pages you will discover:
The beauty of tarrying at the altar.
How stillness becomes strength.
Why revival often begins with hidden prayer.
What it means to be fully at rest in Christ.
Every story, every devotion, is a quiet call to return. To put down the weight you’ve been carrying. To lay aside the pressure to perform. To simply be loved.
Resting in His Presence is not just another book to read—it is a place to meet Him.
