Quiet Spaces Journal: Solitude

The word 'solitude' often has negative connotations. It reminds us of loneliness and pain. While this certainly is the experience of 'solitude' for many people, there is also the positive side: the chance to be alone and rest in God's presence, the peace and quiet we may find there.

Quiet Spaces: Solitude looks at the theme of 'solitude' from a variety of angles. Bringing together insights from the Bible, poetry, music, personal experience and more, Solitude features Sister Wendy Beckett discussing the call to a solitary life, Jennifer Rees Larcombe on living alone, the story of John Bunyan, as well as writers sharing personal experience of retreats.

Quiet Spaces: Solitude is ideal for Retreat and Quiet Day reading. It can also be used for private devotionals and alongside a regular Bible reading routine. Those looking for spirituality and devotional reading may find it useful. The poems and prayers make it ideal for use in groups.
