★★★★★ 5
Beautiful, insightful, filled with wisdom and depth
Format: Paperback
This is, hands down, the most beautiful, meaningful book I have read this year. It is also already topping my list of favorite books of all time; it is so masterfully written. Sarah Clarkson is a gifted storyteller who writes with grace, wisdom, vulnerable insight, and the art of weaving into her work the tone of a kindred spirit. Her personal perspective on capturing the essence of quiet-- even in the midst of the pulls and noise of life-- is gleaned from years of study as well as personal hunger and pursuit. As someone in a busy, sometimes chaotic time of life, I have found myself craving a deeper peace and centered calm that has felt illusive and impossible. I have been so eager for Ms. Clarkson's book to be released, and it was absolutely worth waiting for. I keep returning to its pages to let the words soak in, like water to a weary soul. Her words are lyrical, almost musical to read, and each story she shares, or quote from a book or poem, is chosen carefully to speak perfectly to the topic of quiet. I know this will be a book to read over and over again, to continue to grasp the truth it holds-- always pointing back to the true Master of our peace-- Christ.
