Deeper Still

Finding Clear Minds and Full Hearts through Biblical Meditation

We live in a fast-paced world, and our minds are working in overdrive. Mindfulness promises a method of tuning out the voices for a few minutes to live in the moment. Biblical meditation offers something better: an opportunity to be transformed by God's voice of truth.

Psalm 1 says that the person who delights in God’s word and meditates on it day and night is like a “tree planted by streams of water”. Linda Allcock gives us a framework to help us slow down and dwell deeply on God’s word so that it clears our minds and fills our hearts, making a real difference to the way we live.

This book will help Christians who feel overwhelmed by their thought life, as well as those who want to go deeper in their devotional life.

Full of down-to-earth anecdotes and practical advice, this warm and accessible book is designed to help make biblical meditation part of your everyday life.

All of us could do with slowing down. That’s true for life in general and for our time in God’s word in particular. We all want to make progress with Jesus, of course, but paradoxically it is by going slower with his word that we will make the fastest progress with him. Linda’s book is a searching and timely call to meditate on God’s word, explaining clearly and carefully what that means and offering up a practical framework to do it well. She is honest about the struggles of finding time for the Scriptures but ambitious about the delight we can discover there. Don’t rush past this one.

Linda has written a book that makes you want to put down her book and pick up your Bible—there’s not much higher praise to give than that. I laughed (out loud and publicly), paused, prayed, highlighted and jotted my way through this book. Linda warmly instils a sense of expectation and joy at the privilege of meditating on God's word.

This marvellous book must be given the time and space to draw us into its thoroughly biblical, wholesome and potentially life-changing approach. Reading Deeper Still has been a refreshing treat and has provided an incentive to meditate more deeply on God’s word, which I pray will lead me to delight greatly in him.
