Summary

Peter Wallace writes, "Sometimes God's message for us is right there in front of us a quiet whisper, easily ignored, easy to overlook." All the while, we ache to hear what God has to say to us-to connect our lives with a supernatural purpose. Designed to help you still your heart and hear God's voice, Out of the Quiet leads you through a meditative exploration of Scripture. Read this warm and provocative book every morning as ninety daily reminders to stay alert for God's personal messages to you. Or you can read it straight through as an inspiring book that draws you closer to God's heart. Either way, you'll learn the valuable art of quieting your heart and responding to God's whispered invitations. Book jacket.
