Overview

To understand Christian truths on a theoretical level is one thing; for these truths to become fully alive in our hearts through the infusion of God's love, giving us new life and peace, is something very different. But in the silent saying of our short prayer, in the simplicity of concentrating upon God in silence and openness, in remaining faithful day by day to our meditation, this 'realization' of God in our hearts can become a reality; and the reality can gradually flood our whole being, enabling our relationships with others to grow in depth and understanding. This book is full of helpful advice, as well as deep spiritual insight, and will serve to guide anyone, or any group, wishing to grow closer to God through the practice of meditation.
