Listening For God Together

Writing, books, and spiritual direction for the inner life

The Meeting Place

Quiet Spiritual Practices for Dwelling with God in Prayer

This book explores how the ancient practices of spiritual direction and contemplative prayer help us draw near to God in a loud, distracting world. Each chapter tells a story of what spiritual director and poet Laura Kauffman has discovered in her own practice and includes a practical exercise you can try privately or with your community.

If you long to be aware of the nearness of God, to rest in his presence, and to be equipped to listen to him, this book is your guide toward an ever-deepening intimacy with God.
