Contemplative prayer was the prayer of both the prophets and the ordinary people of the Old Testament. It was also the prayer of Jesus. The Gospel writers reveal that, alongside his active, public life, Jesus sought to live a life of solitude, silence, fasting and watching, listening prayer. In the silence he heard his Father speak, learned to know his Father’s will, and experienced complete surrender in love.
Coming to God in the Stillness is a spiritual gem which has had a profound effect on the lives of many, and readers will find this an excellent easy-to-follow guide for their own prayer. In a simple style and with a very practical emphasis, Jim Borst outlines twelve stages of contemplative prayer and then addresses several key questions, asking: What is it? What does it achieve? How can we learn it?

‘I have read countless books on
prayer, but I come back time and
again to Jim Borst’s distilled wisdom.
Coming to God is a book I would like
to place into the hands of all who are
serious about deepening their prayer
life.’ Joyce Huggett

‘My sisters and I want to thank you for
giving us Jesus, the Bread of Life and
his Good News through your words.’
Mother Teresa
