Many thousands of people across the world have found their spiritual lives enriches by the daily practice of Christian meditation, the method of silent prayer taught by Benedictine monk John Main. It is a tradition which draws on the ancient wisdom of the Bible, the Hindu Upanishads and the early Christian Desert Fathers.John Main wrote several books on contemplative prayer before he died in 1982, but this collection is the only one to draw the essence of all his teachings into one volume. Paul Harris has devotedly selected the essential extracts from each of John Main's works and arranged them here in an attractive and practical daily readings format.

"Every morning and evening these daily readings offer gentle encouragement and wise inspiration." -Laurence Freeman "I do not know of any better method of meditation leading to the experience of the love of God in Christ than that of John Main." -Bede Griffiths "Father John does more than recall isolated gems of wisdom; he reminds us of our own ancient and unbroken tradition of meditation." -Robert Kiely, Professor of English Literature, Harvard University
