Other recent releases of his are "Hope and Witness in Dangerous Times" and "Beauty, Truth, Life, and Love." He's also the author of "Life Lessons from a Bad Quaker," "Awaken Your Senses: Exercises for Exploring the Wonder of God," "Sacred Compass: The Way of Spiritual Discernment", "Holy Silence: The Gift of Quaker Spirituality" and "Mind the Light: Learning to See with Spiritual Eyes." Brent's "Holy Silence" is a contemporary classic on sacred silence. With warmth, wisdom, and gentle humor, Brent presents the Quaker practice of silence and expectant listening to a wider Christian audience. The revised and expanded edition includes new spiritual silence practices and a new section on incorporating holy silence into worship. Written by one of the most respected interpreters of the Quaker tradition, Holy Silence opens up for readers a fresh way of connecting with God. Another of his books is "Life Lessons from a Bad Quaker." “When someone asks me what kind of Christian I am,” says Brent, “I say I’m a bad one. I’ve got the belief part down pretty well, I think. It’s in the practice of my belief in everyday life where I often miss the mark.” In "Life Lessons from a Bad Quaker," a self-professed non-expert on faith invites readers on a joyful exploration of the faith journey—perfection not required. With whimsy, humor, and wisdom, Bill shows readers how to put faith into practice to achieve a life that is soulfully still yet active, simple yet satisfying, peaceful yet strong. It's for anyone who is bad at being good, this is an invitation to a pilgrimage toward a more meaningful and satisfying life . . . one step—or stumble—at a time..
