Everyday work stress oftentimes has people looking for ways to relieve their anxiety. But add to that the noise and chaos of crowded streets, bumper-to-bumper traffic, or something as simple as getting a spot in the grocery line, and the stress level can become too much to handle. Even when we decide to wind down, it often takes the form of sensory overstimulation (like streaming movies or noisy bars).
In Biblical times, when people needed to find more clarity or come closer to God, they often went somewhere away from people, where there was nothing but their thoughts and God’s creation (think Jesus in the desert, Moses on the mountain).
They sought solitude for the soul.
This book is not only an encouragement to find solitude, but hopefully a source of solitude as well. Let these words and pictures be a motivation to you and a small relief from the daily noise.
