This book, which is a devotional focused on "centering prayer" was being used by a book group at my church. It is not the type of reading I would usually choose and at first I was really resistant to the idea of keeping my mind "centered" by what seemed to me to be "not thinking" It seemed kind of anti intellectual and "touchy feely" for my taste. But I kept with it and while I never achieved exactly what the book seems to be describing some kind of meditative state beyond thought, I did find a lot that was solid and valuable in the readings and also the invitations to contemplation.

Are you trying to do it all yourself? Muyskens reminds us that what God seeks is relationship with us, a two-way communication. What relationship with God requires is very similar to what our earthly relationships require: openness, listening, focused time. One way to practice the skills needed for this relationship is centering prayer, a simple but deeply powerful prayer practice. In beautiful and accessible language, Muyskens invites us to spend time daily focusing our hearts on the Lord, to find the power to be still and be reoriented to "the One who is the Center of all." Exercises in prayer and scripture reading are provided for the 40 days. No library descriptions found. |
