5.0 out of 5 stars "To sit before God and know His peace", June 15, 2006

This review is from: Be Still (DVD)

Silence used to be the norm, but in the last 50 years it has become the exception; now we have to create a special time and place to experience silence...and "still the constant noise" that surrounds us. And if we want to grow in our walk with the Lord, it's crucial that we do so. For those who long with all their hearts for more than a Sunday only kind of Christianity, but don't know how quite to start, this DVD has some wonderful guidance, that will spark the light within you.

Jesus is the core and substance of this documentary, and His Word the source. I fail to comprehend the Pharisaic mentality that would find the teaching in this DVD to be heretical, but as Quaker author Richard Foster says, "It's much easier for people to debate the Bible than to submit to it." All the teachers, pastors, and authors interviewed for this documentary have wisdom to impart, making this film a good investment of your time.

"Be Still" is not only a good source for those seeking to learn on their own, but would also be an excellent tool for small study groups to use, and for pastors and Bible teachers as well. One of the 7 chapters of the DVD is on "Small Groups," and gives ideas on how to use contemplative prayer in a gathering of believers.

WARNING: The DVD has a very peculiar set-up. My only complaint of this documentary is that it does not have a "Play All" option, and one must keep the remote close at hand. The 1st chapter is approximately 55 minutes long, and has a long list of credits after it, making one think that "this is all there is," and stop the DVD. Wrong! There are about 40 minutes more in the subsequent 6 chapters.

"The Lord is in His holy temple; let all the earth be silent before Him." Habakkuk 2:20

5.0 out of 5 stars Be Still - A Great Resource for the Journey, April 4, 2006

By 

Bob Beltz "Author, Producer, Virtual Monk" (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Be Still (DVD)

I was one of the lucky people who had the chance to see this DVD before it was released. It is a tremendous resource both to motivate your prayer experience and also to guide you in learning how to experience the great benefit of reflective prayer and bible reading. The narration is beautiful and moving. It does an incredible job of setting a mood and inviting the viewer to enter into the prayer experience. The men and women sharing their experiences is a veritable who's who of spiritual leadership. I highly recommend this beautiful and moving resource for the spiritual journey. It will not only move you to a deeper desire to pray - it will also teach you how to fulfill that desire.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent encouragment for prayer., January 8, 2007

This review is from: Be Still (DVD)

So many Christians pray only to be heard by God. But prayer is more that that. The authors and speakers on this video program offer help toward a way of prayer that has been all but lost in our day. Prayer is also meant to change us, to let God speak to us through the reflective reading of the Bible. Please don't listen to well meaning Christians who criticize this film for its superficial resemblence to New Age spirituality. Their criticisms are off the mark. There is plenty of biblical and historical support for the practices discussed here. Don't miss out on something that will bring you closer to God. See the film for yourself and decide if this is helpful to you.
