A Third For Your Quiet Meditation

About the Book

What if one quiet moment each week could center your spirit and renew your faith?

A Third For Your Quiet Meditation is a five-year collection of weekly Christian devotionals drawn from the Revised Common Lectionary. Each meditation reflects on a verse from the lectionary texts not typically selected for Sunday preaching, offering a fresh, contemplative lens on familiar scripture. Using the broader periscope for context, these reflections create space for deeper spiritual growth and biblical contemplation.

Written by longtime pastor William Flewelling and composed from 2020 through 2024, these weekly reflections stem from a tradition started in 1981. Over decades of ministry, Flewelling found a faithful readership among congregations who cherished these thoughtful insights. Now, they are gathered here to nurture your own Christian quiet time.

Ideal for personal use, sermon inspiration, or group devotional study, this Christian devotional helps you stay rooted in scripture and connected to your spiritual center. Whether you are a churchgoer, ministry leader, or someone seeking weekly spiritual renewal, this book offers wisdom, peace, and theological depth.

If you seek a resource that blends scripture meditation with pastoral insights and spiritual reflection, A Third For Your Quiet Meditation is a companion worth returning to every week.

Begin your journey into sacred stillness today.

About the Author

I served as an ordained minister in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) from 1976 through 2007, when I retired. In the practice of my ministry, I began to place meditations, called For Your Quiet Meditation, in the weekly bulletins on Palm Sunday, April 14,1981. I have continued to write them ever since, using them as originally designed whenever I was serving a congregation. At other times, I would write them, and I continue to write them, as exercises in devotional writing mainly because I find them satisfying to write. I now live in retirement in central Illinois with my wife of fifty-six years, three dogs and several cats.
