 One of the best spiritual books I've read
This book is awesome....it is extremely helpful and anyone interested in Christian mysticism should buy it! I think this book will transform your prayer life and give you a true, clear understanding about what prayer is all about. This is a must-have for all people on the spiritual path, for anyone who seeks truth, and for anyone who seeks the Truth of God! This book will help you in your spiritual awareness....and Keating's message agrees with so many other teachers and realized masters that I've read. BUY THIS BOOK!
good intro to centering prayer and the works of Abbot Keating
I was introduced to centering prayer by a visit to a centering prayer support group at an Episcopal church. One of the participants there told me the fundamentals of this method of prayer, a distillation of the contemplative prayer tradition, which dates from third or fourth century Egyptian monasticism, and then we had a twenty minute session. Afterwards someone in the office photocopied for me a seven page appendix from this book. In the appendix was a reference to the title of the book which I ordered and learned was part of a trilogy by Abbot Keating. It has turned out to be one the most helpful books I have read about this method of prayer.
This book is recommended for those who are looking to banish clutter from their lives. Through contemplative prayer one learns to quieten the soul and experience a more sacred sense of being.
Open Mind, Open Heart
This is one of the best primers about moving into
Stillness I have read. It will be valuable to the beginner as well as for folks who have practiced meditation for many years.
Open Mind Open Heart
This is a marvelous introduction to centering prayer. It answers basic questions and pulls the reader into God's love in a very methodical and reassuring way--reminding the reader that all one needs to do is to say "Yes" to God's grace. Takes a lot of pressure off "making it happen" which is so ingrained in Western society. "Be still and know that I am God" is a central theme. Open Mind Open Heart: The Contemplative Dimension of the Gospel
 Prime source for learning Centering Prayer
In this writing, Father Thomas Keating very carefully and completely offers a newly-edited version of what is considered a primary source for learning Centering Prayer. As the early proponent of this type of prayer that can lead greater joy in entering the presence of God, Keating has once again explained in great detail how the practice of engaging in Centering Prayer can be of benefit. His work is the definitive source of terminology and understanding for the contemplative who wants to engage seriously in this deep form of prayer.
