Silent Speak: Poetry from Contemplative Living

This book is a collection of poetry; a product of a contemplative life of prayer. Through his poetry, Bill Phillips reminds us of all that is beautiful in our lives and the beauty with which God has surrounded us. If we fail to pause in our daily lives to notice God’s wondrous works, Bill has done so for us, using words and imagery that reveal the glory of God’s design of man and of nature. I pray Bill’s work will inspire those who read it to come to the quiet from time-to time, to seek the peace and contentment that can be found in ourselves and to take stock of all that is beautiful and good in our lives, as bestowed on us by God, the Architect of all Creation. - Most Reverend William E. Lori, Archbishop of Baltimore
