"Be still and know that I am God." For centuries, this beloved verse from Psalms (46: 10) has been a source of peace for those who seek a closer connection with God. A timeless reminder that God is ever present, it offers the simplest prescription for connection with the divine: Still yourself, quiet yourself, center yourself . . . and God will appear. Today, as we experience the demands of an increasingly hectic and all-consuming world distracting us from our connection to the divine, the reminder that God's presence is as close as our willingness to still ourselves is more welcome than ever. Using Psalms 46: 10 as his guide, author Mike Brock reflects on God, creation, love, solitude, and the gift of presence, offering a simple blueprint for a slower, more connective, more relational world. Be Still and Know that I Am God: Reflections on God, Connection, and the Gift of Presence is an invitation to slow down, open oneself to the presence of God, connect with one another, and experience the peace that flows from stillness.
