Not as direct or inspiring as Thomas Keating’s beautiful introduction to centering prayer, “Open Heart, Open Mind.”

This book was my first formal foray into learning about centering prayer. The first chapter was quite helpful, but it rapidly devolved into a style of writing I personally find annoying: mystical language intended to sound deep that fails to communicate anything substantive. However, I do understand that there are people for whom this language will be exactly what they need to understand what centering prayer is about...it is to those people that I recommend this book. However, if, like me, you are someone who looks for logical arguments rather than emotional ones, this one will likely not convince.
