5.0 out of 5 stars Buy 2 copies, 4 April 2008
By David Wells (Norwich, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
You'll need two copies - one to keep and re-read, one to lend to your friends. An astonishingly grounded and wise guide to contemplative prayer. Not a "how to" book on techniques,but something much deeper, unpacking the nature and goal of contemplative practice as a way of uncovering the stillness deep within us, the place where we meet God. Although entirely rooted in Christian faith, the book makes some connections with other perspectives, particularly from cognitive psychology. If you have any experience of contemplative prayer, this is the book to encourage you further along the path to "the silent land".

5.0 out of 5 stars A treasure of a book, 26 Jan 2008
By Yen (South, UK) - See all my reviews
Having spent the past few years reading one book after another on Christian meditation/contemplation to accompany my ongoing exploration/practice/teaching of this way of prayer, reading this book was an absolute delight. No waffle, no new-age hype, just brilliant 'puts his finger right on it' accuracy and a number of extremely useful case-studies which could be applied to many situations. I have lent this book to several people, all experienced meditators, and each one has raved about it and ended up buying their own copies. If I were to recommend just three books to people embarking on the Christian contemplative path, this would definitely be one of them. It offers a rare and refreshing combination of genuine depth, brilliant clarity and wonderful readability. A real treasure and the best book I came across in 2007.
