Our Theology House book of the week is Reclaiming Quiet. Sarah Clarkson has long been a favourite author of mine (Admin Sarah). Her writing is inviting and peaceful with a poetic lilt, aptly suited to this particular topic on the cultivation of quiet in our lives. If you are wanting a book to sink into, I highly recommend this one!
