The practice of prayer and meditation in modern Western Christianity is rooted in the Eastern tradition of early Church prayer as well as the wisdom of early Church fathers. In Centering Prayer, M. Basil Pennington, the author of the highly acclaimed Daily We Touch Him, returns to these roots, offering contemporary Christians a new approach to ancient prayer forms.Pennington combines the best of the Eastern spiritual exercises (such as the Jesus Prayer) with a spirituality for today's world. Addressing the obstacles that discourage people from praying well, he explains how to relax for prayer, how to listen to and be directed by the Other, and how to handle the pain and distractions that can stifle attempts to communicate with God. Centering Prayer has sold more than a quarter million copies since it was first published in 1982. In this eminently practical book, simple, inspiring instructions will help readers find the comfort and the guidance they seek through prayer.

In the Eucharist we remember and celebrate the Passion and Death of Jesus Christ. The paschal feast is our greatest opportunity to approach God, and to forge the bonds of community within the Church, but too often we slip into a routine practice of the Mass. Fr. Basil Pennington seeks to reawaken the love, joy, and mystery that flow from a committed Eucharistic life. The Eucharist: Wine of Faith, Bread of Life presents Fr. Pennington's many touching stories and profound meditations from more than forty years of celebrating the Mass in every part of the world.
