Walking the Labyrinth: A Place to Pray and Seek God

One day Travis Scholl discovered a labyrinth in his neighborhood. As he began to walk it he found this ancient practice offered a much-needed path away from life's demands allowing him to encounter God in quiet solitude. In this meditative guide Travis Scholl takes readers on a journey: The path is always new because as a spiritual discipline the labyrinth is a tool for contemplation for reflection for prayer. Underneath the surface walking the labyrinth is a profound exercise in listening in active silence in finding movement and rhythm in the stillnesses underneath and in between every day?s noise. Walking the labyrinth is an exercise in finding the voice speaking in whispers underneath the whirlwind of sound. With no end but only a center labyrinths become a physical symbol of prayer and our journey with God. Each step unites faith and action as travelers take one step at a time living each moment in trust and willingness to follow the course set before them. Providing a historical and modern context for this unique spiritual discipline Scholl weaves his own journey through a labyrinth with the Gospel of Mark's telling of the twists and turns of Jesus' life providing 40 reflections ideal for daily reading during Lent or any time of the year.
