Contemplation Made Simple

"His delight is in the law of the Lord, and in his law he meditates day and night." — Psalm 1:2

We live in the noisiest age in human history — and the quietest souls. Contemplation Made Simple is a plain-language guide to the Bible's forgotten discipline: slow, prayerful meditation on God's Word and God's works.

In fourteen short, Scripture-led chapters, Kimani Upshur, M.Ed., walks you through what the Bible actually says about being still before God. You'll meditate on Psalm 1:2 and Psalm 77:12, trace the wilderness pattern through Moses on the mountain, Elijah in the cave, and Isaac in the field at evening, and follow Jesus Himself to the quiet place. You'll learn how to turn Scripture into prayer, how to replace worry with worship, how to let creation preach to you, and how to build practical rhythms of stillness into an ordinary week.

Each chapter ends with one clear action step — because contemplation is learned by practicing, not just by reading. Includes a 14-question appendix, a closing prayer, and an invitation to the whole Made Simple Framework series.

Christian. Bible-first. Trinitarian — prayer to the Father, through Jesus Christ the Lord, by the Holy Spirit.
