In a world increasingly aware of the need for inner stillness, the sixty meditators in this book speak about a path of prayer that is anchored in both Christian tradition and contemplative experience, a way of simplicity and daily discipline. A Benedictine monk, John Main (1926-1982), rediscovered this ancient form of Christian prayer, which is rooted in Scripture and in the teachings of the early Christian desert monks.The meditators you will meet here are women and men from many different backgrounds and places who have been influenced by this teaching. They speak from their own experience, describing how they got started, the challenges they face, and the fruit this form of prayer has borne in their lives. They tell of a tradition of prayer that is ever new, a path beyond words, thoughts and imagination into the presence of the risen Lord who dwells in our hearts in silence.
