Encountering the Still Point

Dyer, Phil

About this Item

In Encountering the Still Point, Phil offers us the treasures of ancient and modem wisdom about Christian contemplative prayer in a compact, accessible and comprehensive resource. This resource introduces us simply and clearly to the hospitality of Abraham, St Hildegard of Bingen, St Francis and Christ Pantocrator, as well as most of the well-trodden paths of interior Christian spirituality. The reader is invited to be aware of the theology of body prayer because our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit. We are invited to remember the links between breathing and praying, between contemplation and action, between wisdom and discernment. There are deep wellsprings of grace in these ways, which lead to understanding dreams, discerning words of wisdom, healing life's hurts and dwelling more deeply in the words of the bible. The resource is timely because the future of Christian prayer and Christian maturity will depend upon deep prayer and upon deep attention to God's Spirit within us. This is true to the way of Jesusā ¦ Phil's offering deserves to be widely used and enjoyed because our wholeness, energy and vision today, depend on a. peace, wisdom and strength which only God can give: in a fast moving, fast changing, restless world these are priceless gifts indeed.
