<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p><em>A New Silence </em>is a program of contemplative study and monastic formation, offering a deep grounding in the intercontemplative spirituality found within one's own tradition and in the treasures of all the world's religions.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><em>A New Silence</em> focuses on the inner transformation and spiritual practices that guide us to live for the Holy and for the good of creation. It is a practical companion for anyone seeking to be a monastic or contemplative presence in the world. Offered for explorers on the edge-for those who are between religions, those who have abandoned faith but yet seek, those who are interspiritual, or those who are rooted in their faith tradition and are going deeper-this is both path and accompaniment for the journey. Included are contemplative practices, journal reflections, meditative exercises, and examples of a daily schedule, personal vow, rule of life, and ceremony of profession that stabilize and affirm a new monastic way of life.</p><p><br></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><em>"A New Silence</em> will likely be the pre-eminent guidebook to a new way of being human and living as a monk in the world.
