Authors synthesize
Centering prayer, both a meditative technique and the experience
of God s presence in every waking moment, continues to gain a
faithful following among Episcopalians and Roman Catholics at
conferences and in parish and small-group settings. David Keller,
close colleague of Thomas Keating and director of Keating s
Contemplative Ministry project, offers practical suggestions for
personal prayer, addresses its difficulties, and reveals what is
special about it in relation to other prayer traditions.
Short but substantive, this book is for Christians looking for
new insights about prayer and for people who are drawn to
contemplation, but do not think the church has much to offer
them.
Above all, Keller emphasizes that it is the integration of
personal prayer and our day-to-day activities that forms a life of
prayer. Prayer is a life-long vocation, he reasons, not a separate
compartment of life."
Keller's poems captivate the reader with a musical style that asks
us to "listen" while reading. The voice shares words with the
reader encouraging emersion into the poem, with both style and
content that connects us to what is real in the world around us.
