ENDORSEMENTS:
From her insightful analysis of just what is making us so tired, to her incredibly inviting description of ' strategic withdrawal,' to the practical retreat materials ans suggestions, this book might be the first thing you pack for your next retreat - Jim Martin, International Justice Mission.

I was unprepared for such practical, honest, and open insights into the spiritual discipline of retreat. If we're serious about true spiritual transformation, I would encourage all of us to explore God's invitation to get away, rest, and reflect through the pages of this book. - Santiago "Jimmy" Mellado, Compassion International.

Practical guidance and astonishing insight into the physical, psychological, and spiritual dynamics of intentional solitude. - Mark Scandrette, coauthor of Free and Belonging & Becoming.
