I want to acknowledge the following books and materials that I refer to and recommend: Invitation to Solitude and Silence - by Ruth Haley Barton Sacred Rhythms - by Ruth Haley Barton, InterVarsity Press The Father's Business by Sylvia Gunther - a source of excellent resources on prayer, blessings, alignment of body, soul and spirit and spiritual identity. @thefathersbusiness.com Connect with us on Instagram @TheDailyStill for daily inspiration and devotionals.
