Publisher's Summary
"Come away and rest awhile." Jesus invites us to be with him, offering our full and undivided attention to him. When we choose retreat, we make a generous investment in our friendship with Christ.
Truth is, we are not always generous with ourselves where God is concerned. Many of us have done well to incorporate regular times of solitude and silence into the rhythm of our ordinary lives, which means we've gotten pretty good at giving God 20 minutes here and half an hour there. And there's no question we are better for it!
But we need more. Indeed, we long for more. In this audiobook, Transforming Center founder and seasoned spiritual director Ruth Haley Barton gently and eloquently leads us into an exploration of retreat as a key practice that opens us to God. Based on her own practice and her experience leading hundreds of retreats for others, she will guide you in a very personal exploration of seven specific invitations contained within the general invitation to retreat. You will discover how to say "Yes" to God's winsome invitation to greater freedom and surrender.
There has never been a time when the invitation to retreat is so radical and so relevant, so needed and so welcome. It is not a luxury, but a necessity of the spiritual life.

A treasure!
Ruth’s rich content and delivery helped prepare me for my retreat. So much wonderful inspiration and practical implementation. Coming from a tradition where silence and solitude are not celebrated, this book opened my eyes and heart to a deeper way of dwelling with Christ. Thank you Ruth!
