Being with God: The Absurdity, Necessity, and Neurology of Contemplative Prayer

Being with God: The Absurdity, Necessity, and Neurology of Contemplative Prayer

All fruitfulĀ doingĀ must begin withĀ being. For many Christians, it's easy to be swept up into the fast pace of modern life, desiring toĀ doĀ much for God. But we struggle to slow down andĀ beĀ with God.

According to pastor, Enneagram teacher, and author AJ Sherrill,Ā 
beingĀ with God is what empowersĀ doingĀ for God. Sherrill shares his own journey from "busy" Christianity to the ancient paths of contemplative practices. He equips readers to integrate rhythms of stillness, silence, and solitude, offering step-by-step guidance and examples of finding solitude both personally and on retreats.
Sherrill warns that making these changes appears absurd in a society where time is money, productivity is central, and hurry is a way of life. He guides readers gently through the beginning and often confusing stages of contemplative practice. Citing timely insights from the world of neurology and mental health, he shows that solitude is crucial not only for Christian growth but also for holistic flourishing. Foreword by Rich Villodas.

Readers will emerge, centered in Christ, well on their way to this goal: slow down, pay attention, be still, and be loved.
