Description

Basic elements of spirituality, through the six basic elements : scripture; the Psalms and Gospels; primitive Christianity; hellenistic intellectual; primitive monastic; liturgical; and, contemplative. Guided along the road to silence, to meet the needs of modern man 'who is drowning in a sea of noise and meaningless clatter...' Included also is 'The Power of the Name' by Bp. Kallistos Ware. Develops the meaning of the Jesus Prayer. As a way of authentic prayer, the Name of the Lord is the place 'where we stop talking and begin to listen to the wordless voice of God in our hearts'. - from Amzon
