GoodBookStall Review:
Laurence Freeman is a Benedictine monk. His new book is an in-depth study of meditation and silent prayer. He emphasises how practical and simple is the discipline of regular silent contemplation. When we are silent we are completely ourselves. It is in silence that we experience our essential nature, which is in harmony with God, with the created world and with the whole of humanity. Meditation also leads to humility and self-knowledge. We are still, silent; we stop doing, thinking, planning. This is an excellent book for those who want to try meditation for the first time, but also for those who want to go deeper and further along this spiritual journey.
