About this book

Find Peace in His Presence: A Companion for Your Spiritual Retreat

Do you feel inundated from all sides, your soul overwhelmed by endless consumption, constantly absorbing relentless content wherever you go? Yet does your soul still feel hungry and satisfaction seem out of reach? What you're longing for is solitude with God. Come Away and Rest invites you to step away from the noise of a hurried world and into the sustaining presence of God.

Alyson Pryor gently guides you on a healing, life-giving path of spiritual renewal through personal retreats of silence, solitude, and intentional rest. This thoughtful guide offers step-by-step instructions for customizing six types of personal retreats that you can practice from anywhere. Whether you're new to the idea of retreats or looking for fresh guidance, this book will be a nurturing companion for your spiritual growth.

In Come Away and Rest, you will find:

  • Guidance for how to prepare for a personal spiritual retreat
  • Step-by-step instructions for crafting six personal retreats, ranging between six hours to several days
  • Wisdom for re-entering life after a retreat

If you need discernment, are grieving, are going through a time of transition, or are simply weary, Come Away and Rest helps you find the sacred rhythm of spiritual retreat. Pryor's reflections lead you through the deeper purpose of resting in God's presence—a practice that isn't just restorative but essential. Discover the rest your soul longs for. Get your copy of Come Away and Rest and be inspired to make retreating with God an essential rhythm in your spiritual life.
