Michelle DeRusha is back on the podcast. She is a great conversationalist and a wonderful writer. Recently she went on a silent retreat for the first time. We talk about the spiritual practice of retreat and silence. We also catch up on the good books that each of us is currently reading.

Michelle writes one of the best monthly newsletters. I always read it and I can’t say that’s true of every newsletter that makes its way to my in box. I recommend signing up for it on her website.

Here is a link to Contemplate Lincoln, which Michelle talks about.

Here is a list of some of the books mentioned by Michelle and me on the podcast. Small Great Things, The Universal Christ, Wintering, Thomas Merton, After Evangelicalism, Loveable, True Companions.
