From the Back Cover
This definitive anthology on the way of invocatory prayer or "centering prayer," presents for the first time 18 foundational texts from each of the world’s great religions, accompanied by 21 essays by some of the most renowned scholars and spiritual authorities of contemporary times.
Patrick Laude illustrates the rare case of a scholar who understands the practical value and spiritual meaning of his subject. His anthology of the way of invocation spans the distance between centuries and cultures but will be of inspiration and encouragement to seekers today of all faiths. —Laurence Freeman OSB, Georgetown University.

From the Inside Flap
"It is widely recognized in all religious worlds that nothing is more important than prayer, since prayer involves a direct relationship between the Divine and the human. Nothing can be deemed more spiritually necessary than prayer since among all possible actions none engages as direct a communication with the Great Mystery. A work of charity, for example, could be considered prima facie as important as prayer, or it could be viewed as an extension and a consequence of prayer inasmuch as it is centered on a consciousness of the Divine; but it is nevertheless contingent upon circumstances and particular needs, whereas prayer as such is totally unconditioned since it expresses the very essence of the human station before the One."
