Summary: Quiet in the Midst of Chaos
Review: "Rest is not a luxury. Rest is a necessity. We need regular rest in order to maintain ourselves as whole, healthy women!" (Page 13)In today's busy life, women, especially Christian women, don't often take the time to rest. We are busy with our careers, our families, our friends, and our church. We look at the Bible, point to the Proverbs 31 woman, and think, "Wow, she was so awesome, she never rested, and she accomplished so much!" But as Denise George points out in her devotional book COME TO THE QUIET the Proverbs 31 woman was a wise woman. She took time to rest spiritually, mentally, and physically. If a woman doesn't rest, she'll soon have a breakdown, either mentally or physically. In COME TO THE QUIET, Denise George teaches us that we need to turn the televisions and radios off. We need to retreat to an area of silence in order to connect fully with God. Noise is a dangerous thing, often drowning out the voice of God in our lives. COME TO THE QUIET is a very deep book. I could only read a little at a time, and then had to sit and think about what Ms. George was saying. I often find her comments coming to mind even after finishing the book, and share them with my husband. If you are looking for an escape from the busy world we live in, I highly recommend COME TO THE QUIET. You will learn how to find the quiet in the midst of the chaos. With the holidays approaching way too fast, COME TO THE QUIET is the book to read. --- reviewed by Laura V. Hilton for Christian Bookshelf
