About this title

Synopsis

"True contemplatives are those who live habitually in the presence of God." –James M. Somerville
For everyone interested in the Christian mystical journey and the unity of the contemplative vocation in all of the world’s religions. This book offers profound insights into the nature of meditation, the stages of spiritual growth, the power of prayer and the unity of the contemplative vocation. In a second part the author sheds light on the rich spiritual life of Jesus of Nazareth whose role Somerville saw in helping “people discover their true identity and to act out the implications of their divine calling."
