First published nearly forty years ago and having been translated
into numerous languages, this classic text is written by a
Benedictine monk whose Christianity was profoundly enriched by his
encounter with Hindu spirituality. Described by its author as 'a
little book to help Christians in their inner renewal, and to make
them increasingly attentive to the call of the Spirit', it is a
simple and practical manual for learning to live each moment in the
presence of God. 10 short chapters provide a lifetime's agenda and
are full of gems of wisdom. They focus on: the holy presence, the
mystery of God, recognizing God in all things, listening for God's
call, the prayer of silence, and contemplative reading of
scripture. This deceptively simple text contains all the building
blocks necessary for a mature life of prayer. ABHISHIKTANANDA is
the name by which the French Benedictine Monk, Dom Henri Le Saux
became known after he moved to India in search of a more radical
way of living his monastic vocation. He founded the Christian
ashram, Shantivanam, that was to become world famous under his
successor, Bede Griffiths.
