Dwelling In The Word - the Book

Church Innovations Institute is pleased to announce
a new book from Patrick Keifert and Pat Taylor Ellison
Dwelling in the Word
deep listening to God and one another

Dwelling in the Word is a spiritual practice of deep listening. To do it, a group chooses a Bible text and commits to remaining in that text for several months running.

Whenever they meet, someone reads the passage aloud, they let some silence unfold, and then each person finds a stranger to listen into speaking freely about what they heard in that story, listening well enough to share what the stranger said with the large group.

This spiritual practice allows anyone regardless of Bible experience to n hear and speak about how the Bible passage catches their imagination. It makes encountering strangers easier through repeated practice. It grounds any group that commits to long-term dwelling a chance to perceive the Holy Spirit shaping their shared imagination.
