Addresses some of the criticisms and misunderstanding around Centering Prayer and offers a new perspective on the forty-year-old approach to meditation.
Centering Prayer is a type of Christian meditation which can add depth to all types of prayer, and emphasises a quiet, resting and receptive openness to God. Since its emergence about forty years ago, it has been variously criticised or misunderstood, and this book aims to build a healing bridge of mutual respect and understanding.
The book is written for anyone interested in Centering Prayer, to find out more about this dynamic way of having a relationship with God, and also as an invitation to its critics, to reconsider the approach in a spirit of reconciliation.
