Book excerpt: "Jean-Yves Leloup explores the writings of many spiritual masters from across the centuries, in particular the Desert Fathers, the fourth-century monk Evagrius, St. John Cassian, and the anonymous nineteenth-century author of The Way of the Pilgrim." "Drawn from the experience of the monasteries of Sinai and Mount Athos, here is a clear and practical presentation of the spiritual art of arts: stillness in the face of interior pain and confusion." "These spiritual riches, refined and developed by the Orthodox tradition in Christianity, can also be recognized in the teaching and practice of Buddhism, Hinduism and Islamic Sufism. The fundamental truth of one tradition is to be found under its own proper forms and nuances in others. Far from diminishing the unique value of this hesychastic way of prayer, the most developed spiritual traditions of humanity affirm it as one of the great forms through which humanity reaches out to embrace Infinite Reality."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Book excerpt: Have you ever asked God to speak to you? Would you be able to hear His voice if He did? How about your spiritual journey...is it all show with no signs of growth? That was me. I understood how to talk like a woman of faith however my "walk" was in dire need of adjustment. And then it happened. It was a beautiful morning during the spring of 2008 when while turning the coffee-colored dirt of my garden plot, God met with me. He'd heard my cry and came to bind up and restore my broken heart. But then why was I surprised? Didn't it all begin in the garden? Psalm 46:10 "Be still and know that I am God"

Book excerpt: In our can't-stop world, where we frantically move through our days with hardly a moment of true rest and reflection, it's hard to comprehend the thought of being still, of leaving our anxiety and worry and impatience in the capable hands of a loving God. But that's exactly what Elisabeth Elliot calls us to do. Using the title of one of her favorite hymns as her unifying theme, Elliot offers an inspiring collection of reflections on living the Christian life. Illustrating biblical concepts with her rich personal experiences as a missionary, mother, wife, widow, radio host, and internationally known public speaker, Elliot writes with clarity and elegance on topics at once timeless and timely. This lovely new repackaged edition is perfect for the busy times in which we live.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early Christian spirituality is a topic of enduring fascination today among scholars and general readers alike. Stories of hermits living in the desert in their pursuit of God catch our fancy. What motivated them and drew them to silence on their path to God? In this gracious tour, Norris J. Chumley introduces us to Hesychasm, or the practice of silence and contemplative prayer, and to the lives of its early practitioners. The reader is introduced to St. Anthony, St. Pachomius, Evagrius, St. John Climacus, and many others. Then, as only a teacher and mentor can, he opens up the important possibilities the practice has for today.

Book excerpt: Walk in the desert and you walk with yourself. The backdrop to this everyday companion to mindfulness is the Sahara desert and, as well as an easy to read description of the essentials of mindfulness, the reader will find the author's own photographs of the desert with haiku-style verses. In the desert you come face to face with yourself and in mindfulness you come to see yourself as you are in the moment. The space and the emptiness of the desert complement the stillness and the possibilities of mindfulness. After the instruction you will find four themed meditations with a web link to sound files to use with them if you wish. Here is a good foundation for the development of a regular practice of mindfulness. The author is a psychological therapist of some 30 years standing who uses mindfulness, meditation and creative therapies in his client work, now undertaken at his residential retreat centre in SW France.
