What is prayer? How may we approach our Maker in a simple, direct way? In listening to the Silence within. For if once we begin to attend to our deeper Self then we begin that most enriching encounter: to see Self enclosed within our Maker. Julian of Norwich tells us: 'God is nearer to us than our own Soul'. Educated by the Jesuits from the age of nine, John Skinner left school to join the Society of Jesus. For thirteen years he followed their formation, especially the Ignatian method of prayer. But ahead of ordination, he changed course to join The Times. Five years on Fleet Street left him breathless, so that he became a children's bookseller to found The Red House. Returning to his former trail twenty years on, he managed to spend a bare fortnight living, praying and working alongside the Carthusians of Parkminster. His narrative of that healing time, Hear our Silence, tells that tale; it also led to an invitation to those outside the cloister to deepen their own experience of prayer. 'I told the Prior: "I am going to steal your Silence, and take it outside". His answer: use our name".' What better invitation ... Gracewing is also the publisher of John Skinner's companion volume, Sounding the Silence, as well his first book, Hear Our Silence, and his translation into modern English of Revelation of Love by Julian of Norwich.
John Skinner was a renowned Scottish Presbyterian clergyman and biblical student who made good sized contributions to The Expositor's Bible collection. His opus, "The Book of Ezekiel," demonstrates his scholarly prowess and in-intensity engagement with biblical sources. In this incisive study, Skinner digs into the prophetic and symbolic complexities of the Book of Ezekiel, giving readers with an intensive and informative exam. Skinner's remark on Ezekiel, published as part of The Expositor's Bible series, gives an intensive examination of the prophet's visions and words, in addition to the ancient surroundings wherein they evolved. Skinner's method blends theological readability with an intensive look at of the cultural and ancient context of Ezekiel's day. His writing demonstrates a determination to make the complicated narratives of the Old Testament available to a large audience whilst retaining highbrow rigor. "The Book of Ezekiel" by way of John Skinner is not handiest a useful resource for theologians and biblical lecturers, but it additionally demonstrates Skinner's commitment to clarifying the profound truths hidden inside the texts. His study is still seemed as a big addition to the know-how and interpretation of the Book of Ezekiel in the large context of biblical research.
