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.
Linda Allcock works alongside her husband Jonty in The Globe Church, central London, lectures on the women’s ministry course at London Seminary, and is author of Head Heart Hands Bible reading notes. Her life is a crazy, fun mix of boys (she has three sons plus Jonty!), Bible teaching, writing and feeding people.
Endorsements (${ productEndorsements.length })
“Linda Allcock has provided us with a great tool for Bible meditation! With humility and clarity, she teaches us how we can fill our hearts with Scripture and ask questions to help the truth saturate our souls. You will not set down this book pessimistic about another spiritual task to accomplish, but you will be encouraged, instructed, and pointed to the grace of the gospel, which permeates Linda’s chapters. I will be recommending this to many. ”
Taylor Turkington
Director of Women's Training Network, The Gospel Coalition
“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. ”
Adrian Reynolds
Associate National Director, FIEC
“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. ”
Richard Cunningham
Director, UCCF: the Christian Unions
“This is just what we need: a call to replace our busy, anxious thoughts with focused reflection on God’s word. Linda Allcock helps us with this practical guide to memorizing, singing and speaking the word. ”
Bill James
Principal, London Seminary
“Deeper Still is a wonderfully encouraging, terrifically insightful and stunningly simple book. It is written to help us to find eternally satisfying nourishment through our daily encounter with the Lord in his word. As well as offering a simple framework to the reader to follow in achieving this goal, it is also honest, realistic and frank about the challenges there are. Deeper Still is also a brilliantly written and at times profoundly personal book. No matter where you are along your Christian journey, this book will be more than worth your time. ”
Jonathan Gemmell
Director of Conferences and Resources, The Proclamation Trust
