The Book of Contemplation cover

The 77 words featured here are universal and eternal, carrying immense power, beauty, and meaning, but they do not tell readers what to think or believe or how to apply the knowledge readers may gain through it. The book simply and gently offers an invitation to take a radically new and different look at these 77 key words--to ponder them, to meditate upon them, and to reevaluate and reembrace them.

"A single word on an empty page is no longer a word. Rather, it is an epiphany as stark in its singularity as the sheered face of a cliff and as powerful as an atom broken. This book is a gathering of such words. Enter it with care." --Phyllis Tickle, author, The Divine Hours and Greed: The Seven Deadly Sins "This lovely book comes to us from the venerable tradition of the 'vade mecum' ('go with me'), small precious books meant to encourage the original sense of contemplation, to build 'a temple within' through daily meditation on the divine." --Phil Cousineau, author, The Art of Pilgrimage and Once and Future Myths
