This book is a refreshing and practical introduction and guide to Christian meditation as taught by John Main OSB. Laurence Freeman teaches meditation as a way to enter the desert experience. It contains instructions, guidance and support as well as 46 enriching daily reflections on the Gospels, highlighting an aspect of their meaning and their continued relevance for modern living. Through this ascetic discipline, we learn to nurture the silence within and come to experience joy and well-being in every area of our lives. 

While Laurence Freeman suggests Lent as a good time to begin or to deepen the practice of meditation, Sensing God can be used to enter into the desert experience in any liturgical season and through the three liturgical years.
