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 such as: 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 of meditation. Those already on the journey will find this book a way of refreshing their practice as well as of sharing it with others.
