In the teachings of Jesus, there are prayers, and then there is prayer the silent, loving communion with the divine, beyond words or ritual. With Father Thomas Keating s book Open Mind, Open Heart, hundreds of thousands discovered the transformative power of Centering Prayer as a form of Christian meditation. Now, with The Path of Centering Prayer, Keating s senior student, friend, and advisor David Frenette reveals the profound depths of this practice, making it easier for meditators to deepen their connection with God.
