Did you know that noise is scientifically proven to stress you out? Noise triggers a stress response in a region of your brainstem causing a release of cortisol (a stress hormone). Now think about how noise impacts you and why we need silence. Distinguished theologian, spiritual thinker and author Henri Nouwen writes about the importance of silence for spirituality and presents the invitation to “pray always” in The Heart of the Way. More than 100,000 copies sold! The great Henri Nouwen said, “What makes us human is not our mind but our heart, not our ability think but our ability to love.” In The Heart of the Way Nouwen encourages people to take the disciplines of solitude, silence and prayer more seriously. He draws from the writings of the desert mother and fathers who lived in the Egyptian desert during the fourth and fifth centuries. This uplifting read is for anyone looking to: · Renew their spirituality and find faith within simple practices. · Learn more about continuous prayer and pursue a deeper relationship with God. · Create solitude and find comfort in silence. The Way of the Heart has helped men and women cast off the anger and greed that trouble the world—and find love, compassion, and peace in the heart of God. Within this book lies the most relevant and inspiring challenge that we shall ever face: to surrender the compulsive noise of the world for the way of the heart that leads us to God.
