What if the Bible's most familiar passages are not only doctrines to believe but instructions for an inner journey?
What if "be still and know" is a meditation technique? What if "the kingdom of God is within you" means exactly what it says? What if the scriptures have been teaching stillness, awareness, and the transformation of consciousness all along, and most of us were too busy to hear them?
Two in the Field: Meditation, Scripture, and Stillness offers a contemplative reading of scripture that most churches never explore. Drawing on the teachings of Jesus, the Psalms, the letters of Paul, and the wisdom of contemplative traditions across centuries and cultures, this book follows a single thread from the call to stillness through the transformation of the inner life to the practical question of how an awakened person actually lives in the world.
This is not a book about leaving religion or critiquing the church. It is a book about what scripture itself says when you read it slowly, quietly, and with your full attention.
Each of the twenty-one chapters ends with a contemplative practice: a meditation, a journaling exercise, a silence fast, a way of seeing. These are not extras. They are the point. This is a book that asks you to do more than read. It asks you to be still.
For seekers, meditators, contemplatives, and anyone who has ever suspected that the Bible has more to say than they have been taught to hear.
The field is waiting.
