Centering Prayer and Inner Awakening
by Cynthia Bourgeault
$16.95 Paperback

Centering Prayer and Inner Awakening is a complete guidebook for all who wish to know the practice of Centering Prayer. Author Cynthia Bourgeault examines how the practice is related to the classic tradition of Christian contemplation, looks at the distinct nuances of its method, and explores its revolutionary potential to transform Christian life. The book encourages dialogue between Centering Prayer enthusiasts and those classic institutions of Christian nurture—churches, seminaries, and schools of theology—that have yet to accept real ownership of the practice and its potential.

Come and See: The Transformation of Personal Prayer
by David Keller
$14.00 Paperback

Contemplative prayer continues to gain in popularity among Episcopalians and Roman Catholics. David Keller, who with Thomas Keating co-founded The Contemplative Ministry project, offers practical suggestions for personal prayer, addresses its difficulties, and reveals what is special about it in relation to other prayer traditions. Come and See is for Christians looking for new insights about a wide range of Christian prayer practices and for people who are drawn to contemplation but do not think the church has much to offer them. Above all Keller emphasizes that it is the integration of personal prayer and our day-to-day activities that forms a life-long vocation, not a separate compartment of life.
