Description

Jesus invites us to be with him, offering our full and undivided attention. This is the essence of retreat, a practice that can bring greater freedom and surrender to our lives. In "Invitation to Retreat", Ruth Haley Barton explores the value of regular times of solitude and silence, and how they can deepen our friendship with Christ.

Based on her own experience and that of hundreds of retreats she has led, Ruth gently guides us into the practice of retreat, helping us to discover how to say yes to God's invitation to greater freedom and surrender. This is not a luxury, but a necessity of the spiritual life.

With seven specific invitations contained within the general invitation to retreat, Ruth leads us on a personal exploration of how to cultivate a deeper relationship with God. We long for more time with him, and this book shows us how to make that a reality.
