Editorial Reviews

"Meeting God in Quiet Places" is a beautiful DVD that pairs the reverent and tranquil narration of American author F. LaGard Smith with captivating glimpses of England's countryside and an evocative soundtrack. The result is a series of seven short films that bring to life the pleasant and fulfilling atmosphere of summer and winter England. The simple parables blend with the tranquil footage into a soulful whole. A truly spiritual experience, "Meeting God in Quiet Places" is an unforgettable island of peace amid the chaotic bedlam of day-to-day life.

Beautiful English countryside sets the scene for Smith as he walks the footpaths of the Cotswolds and stops to talk to us about God. Seven stories from his best-selling book with the same title come to life in this lively DVD. Each story may be viewed separately, or all may be played together. The stories range in length from six to 12 minutes, so they work quite easily as short devotional material. While discussing topics ranging from walking sticks to sheep, the speaker leads us quite naturally into thinking about God and our relationship with Him. The well-chosen background music adds to the beauty of the scenery and the messages of Smith's parables. Highly recommended for church libraries.

Every year, author, teacher, and biblical authority F. LaGard Smith leaves his home in the United States to spend six months in the English countryside, in order to refresh his spirits in the peaceful surroundings. In Meeting God in Quiet Places, a companion to Smith's book of the same title, the writer takes viewers from his stone cottage on a ramble through the beautiful Cotswolds, a setting conductive to meditation. In a low-key, companionable manner, Smith uses the locale as a background for short reflections on God as a friend and protector, social responsibility, contentment, suffering, and forgiveness and grace. With its visual beauty, soothing music, and Smith's gentle presence, this is a refreshing tool for preparing the mind for personal reflection or sharing thoughts with others. Recommended.
