Silent Conversations: Reading the Bible in Good Company

Information on Silent Conversations from the publisher:

What Would it be Like to Read the Bible in the Company of Thomas Merton, C. S. Lewis, Julian of Norwich, and Desmond Tutu? What might John Wesley see in the Book of John that you might not? How would Mother Teresa react to a particular passage from Matthew? Author William Apel offers you the opportunity to become lasting friends in a silent conversation from this communion of saints and sages ranging from Martin Luther to Martin Luther King, Jr. You are invited to open your Bible while a host of silent partners representing many of the great figures of Christianity are gathered at your side.Written to encourage a slow meditative reading for personal inspiration, each chapter begins with a Bible passage and a quote from one of the writings of this "faithful cloud of witnesses," followed by an examination of the Bible passage itself and its importance to the experience of our companion. A springboard for meditation, these probing journeys will bring new life and wisdom to your Bible study while helping you embrace the Bible with your heart and mind and with the passion of those who have gone before you.

This uniquely reflective book combines readings from Scripture with insights from sages and saints through the ages. Meditate on the Psalms with C.S. Lewis; Matthew with Mother Teresa; Genesis with Desmond Tutu; and more. 174 pages, softcover from Judson.
