"The Sun Inside Closed Eyes" by Stephen L. Avard Jr.
“The Sun Inside Closed Eyes” (ISBN 0615543790), a religious nonfiction book by Stephen L. Avard Jr., J.D. reveals the practice of Christian meditation and the powerful effects that such a practice can have on anyone’s relationship with God.
Practiced extensively by early Christians, the Desert Fathers and medieval church mystics, meditation has fallen out of popularity in the contemporary church’s focus on external practices. According to the author, however, the practice provides an important missing piece in the life of a Christian that has perhaps more relevance than ever in these uncertain times. The book is divided into three parts discussing personal power, love and self-control and contains a simple, easy-to-use Christian meditation for immediate application.
“God-focused meditation for just 20 minutes a day will leave you happier, calmer, closer to God, more powerful, more loving and self-disciplined,” says Avard. “Whether you are a beginner or expert, this book can help you open the doors of your soul and truly invite God inside.”
According to the author, Christian meditation varies greatly from recently popular forms of Eastern-style meditation that focus on losing yourself, reincarnation or relaxing the mind. Rather, this most important of all self-improvement tools involves a deep focus on God, his holy names and his kingdom. The book is intended to engage, educate and inspire readers to grow closer to God while improving their mind, body, social relationships and soul.
“The Sun Inside Closed Eyes” is available for sale online at Amazon.com and other channels.
