"The church and world are constantly searching for ways to overcome the obstacles of noise and busyness, and experience closer encounters with God. Dr. Weaver has written a powerful volume that speaks to the contemporary need for such encounters, highlights the biblical mandate to meditate, and explicates the characteristics of Jesus' meditative practice. . . . His work is must-read material for persons engaged in religious practice."
--C. Anthony Hunt, Senior Pastor, Epworth Chapel United Methodist Church, Baltimore

"This resource is the perfect companion for both personal and public devotion. The guidance provided in this resource captures a true spirit of meditation not just as an external practice, but as a healthy habit to be incorporated into every spiritual leader's toolbox for faith development."
--Rodney Smothers, Director of Leadership and Congregational Development, Baltimore Washington Conference
