REVIEWS
Rodney A. Whitacre
— Trinity School for Ministry
"Hart succeeds admirably in his effort to provide concepts that will help people reflect on their own practice of solitary prayer and stillness. Drawing upon Scripture and a wide range of ancient and contemporary resources, he offers thought-provoking insight into the meaning and nature of such prayer. The result is not only a deeper understanding of solitude and stillness in Christian discipleship but also encouragement and motivation to continue on the path. I am finding great benefit in repeated readings of this book."

"We live in an age when dogma and loving God are too easily separated. Addison Hodges Hart believes the Christian's goal is the knowledge and love of God, but dogma is necessary to provide the signposts along the road. We need his emphasis on the soul in solitude more than ever if we are to bear the yoke of Christ faithfully in these times."
