Into the quiet: Following Jesus in a world of noise Hardcover – October 6, 2026

A profound exploration of the ache for quiet in a chaotic, noisy time of overstimulation and distraction—and the transformative effects of solitude, silence, and stillness—from the New York Times bestselling author of Practicing the Way and The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry.Modern living is inundated with noise, busyness, and a digital cycle fueled by outrage and fear.
