Quiet Places: A Women's Guide to Personal Retreat [Paperback]

Jane Rubietta (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 1997

Meet with God in the Quiet Places.

"The purpose of retreat," writes Jane Rubietta, "is not to check off a list of Scriptures read, quotes studied, or prayers said. It is an escape into the calm arms of God." Quiet Places leads you into that meaningful time with God whether your retreat to solitude is twenty minutes while the kids are tucked in bed or a day or two of personal getaway.

Each chapter of Quiet Places offers thought-provoking, spirit-prodding inspiration, weaving together practical outlines and principles to help you find God in the midst of all that a busy woman faces daily. Quiet Places provides teaching and encouragement for groups as well as individuals.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thought provoking, inspirational and exhilirating, July 9, 1998

Makes you dig down inside yourself and realize many things about yourself that you have never taken the time to think about. Every women should read this book. And some cases, I feel it would be worthwhile for men. I think any mother, harried housewife or career women would get something out of this book. It also allows you to find a quiet place and think!

This is such an inspiring book, I couldn't put it down! Please, gentlemen, don't let a little thing like pride come in the way of reading something that can help you understand not only your partner, but yourself as well! An excellent literary accomplishment...I've already started to read the sequel, "Still Waters". As an aside, Mrs. Rubietta's husband, Rich, has just released an accompanying CD with an all-new song for each of the chapters in the book, "Quiet Places". Another "don't miss"!

We have used Jane Rubietta's excellent book "Quiet Places" for our Friday morning Bible Study for young Moms. These young women have been so moved with the insights they have received from this book that Mrs. Rubietta has been invited for an all day women's conference on August 12th. Mrs. Rubietta treats women's contemporary issues with great depth, personal experience, and always with a focus on Christ Jesus as personal Lord and Savior. Such topics as self-esteem, respecting boundaries, grieving, friendships,loneliness, and realizing life long dreams and ambitions are treated realistically. This gifted writer touches hearts and minds. We can't get enough of this writer's ideas and insights into women's needs for one another and for Christ. She catapults her readers into the arms of God.
