This collection of readings draws into one volume the essence of John Main’s teaching in his many books and recordings. Paul Harris has devotedly selected the essential extracts from each of John Main’s works, and arranged them in an attractive practical format suitable for daily reading. 

Many people across the world have found their spiritual lives transformed and enriched by the daily practice of Christian meditation as taught by Benedictine monk John Main (1926-1982). Christian meditation is a contemplative way of silent prayer grounded in biblical wisdom and the early Christian desert tradition. 

Every morning and evening these daily readings offer gentle encouragement and wise inspiration. (Laurence Freeman OSB)
