"Living in the Presence"
by Tilden Edwards
I have been on a quest to uncover some spiritual exercises that will help us discover a new attentiveness to God. This book offered that. However, this 154 page book was not an easy read, but for the person who is serious about spiritual formation, it does offer some ideas to incorporate in our spiritual growth.
The author has listed twenty-seven exercises, along with some reflective questions. At first, I was apprehensive about his mystical approach, but saw that he was drawing on some of the classical traditions. The exercises are highly experiential and can be used in both personal and corporate settings.
My exposure to this material has helped me tap into some creativity of developing some practical exercises that help us become more aware of God’s presence and give Him an opportunity to speak to our hearts. Overall a good read – but not easy.
