Daniel Seeger was the Executive Secretary at Pendle Hill retreat center. This pamphlet grows out of his experiences helping Friends from all branches, and other persons, deepen their spiritual experience of silence.

This essay is a reflection on the practice of inner silence in everyday life.

Wow. This one is extraordinary. In 25 small pages, Seeger explains clearly and inspiringly what the practice of inner silence is, what it does to us, and how it brings us to the love of God, to the place of pure stillness and peace and reconciliation where we find what we seek. We grow into what we are meant to be, and our lives preach to the world.
Seeger writes very clearly. While he explains why language and logic cannot convey the experience of the Divine, he still informs us of how we may seek and find it and how it will transform us. This is a profound though brief exposition of the Quaker understanding of the life of the Spirit, from the silent-meeting tradition of Friends (liberal and Conservative Friends). It cuts through any confusion we may have about what we are doing. ( )
