Book Synopsis

A One-of-a-Kind Devotional

What is it like to spend extended time in an environment where you focus solely on God and His Word, with no other obligations and nothing to distract you from His loving presence--wrapped in an ever-deepening closeness with the Lord? Find out in this one-of-a-kind devotional.

Chaim Bentorah reveals the spiritual blessings of spending time alone with God as he describes his experiences in three different silent retreats. With years of study in ancient languages and research into Jewish literature, Chaim was able to dig deep into the very core of key words from Scripture that God called to his attention during his times of living in silence. These meditations on the deeper meanings of Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic words, drawn from the author's real-time journal entries, open up the depths of God's Word--leading you, too, to be called into an intimate relationship with God. You will become refreshed and challenged in your spiritual walk so that you can live with renewed purpose, carrying the compassionate heart of Jesus to the hurting world around you.

Journey into Silence is a spiritual and emotional journey, demonstrating how your life can be transformed as you enter into times of contemplation, wonder, and worship with God.
