A Certain Silence

This is a short devotional book consisting of prayers, reflections and poems gleaned from almost 50 years of the author's daily journals. As such it is the culmination of years of spiritual reading, thought and practice. Personal prayers as well as a variety of devotional reflections cover a wide range of spiritual thought and Biblical meditation. The book concludes with a series of inspirational poems by the author.

This is R. A. Sanders' first book. These Christian meditations, prayers and poems have been selected from the daily journal he has kept for nearly 50 years. Many of these reflections have been used in weekly Bible classes taught by the author. Not a traditional daily devotion book, the entries may be read in order or at random. The immediacy and frankness of these selections give the reader a window into the author's own devotional life which has been influenced by such varied authors as A. W. Tozer, C. S. Lewis, Oswald Chambers and Thomas a Kempis. Several inspirational poems conclude this brief but thought-provoking work.
