This book is helpful for anyone seeking a deeper spiritual life. It is especially useful to those exploring the basic teaching on Christian meditation as a way to depth and meaning in their life. Laurence Freeman deals clearly and usefully with the simple but sometimes puzzling questions that challenge the seeker: What is prayer? How do we pray? How do we look at progress on this journey?

The newcomer to meditation will be encouraged to start on the journey. The practising meditator will find in this book refreshment for their practice and a way to share it with others.
