Many people today have a deep spiritual thirst and hunger that in many ways is as urgent as the material needs of developing nations. Unless affluent societies escape the addiction to materialism, they will be unable to feel the depth of compassion from which works of mercy and justice spring. Laurence Freeman teaches a way to spiritual health that is both ancient and new. The desert fathers practiced silent prayer and the church in our own day has rediscovered its liberating power. To sit down before God in silence does more than empty our minds of our own concerns. It opens us to the mystery of life, to seeing thing from God's perspective rather than our own limited viewpoint, to the power of faith that heals and raises us to love God and our neighbour. This is a book with international appeal as the World Community for Christian Meditation can be found in 114 countries.

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.
