About this title

Book Description:

Discover the practices and insights at the heart of Christianity's own meditation tradition with this enriching "retreat" on audio. Looking back to his monastic life at the Abbey of Gethsemani, where he studied with Thomas Merton, author James Finley shares uniquely Christian teachings for cultivating awareness of the interconnection of all life. Mining Christianity's own lineage of mystics, "Christian Meditation" guides listeners through an unmatched eight-hour course of original meditations and other practices.

From the Publisher:

James Finley is a former student of Thomas Merton, and is an internationally recognized scholar of the Christian contemplative tradition. Christian Meditation appeals to Christians who want to persue a meditation/contemplative practice that is aligned with their faith. People who are interested in the teachings of the Desert Fathers, Meister Eckhart, Thomas Merton, and Bede Griffiths will find that this complete, guided course, is much like attending a contemplative retreat.
