Quiet Paths is a pattern of daily prayer (with accompanying prayer book) to help us spend time in God’s presence each day. The focus is not on comment or explanation, but on God’s word itself, set in a framework of prayers and silence, all taking roughly ten minutes.

Each month follows a theme, though each day’s liturgy stands alone, so there is no decision fatigue in choosing what to read and no pressure to catch up on missed days. The readings are short, chosen to encourage reflection, whether at the breakfast table with others or listening in private or on the way to work.

In a busy-busy world, where the twin voices of demand and discouragement cry out on all sides, Quiet Paths offers a simple invitation: come to Christ and rest, be still before him, and have your heart re-tuned to the music of God’s grace.
