Reviews
Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information, Inc.
This is a useful, practical guide for anyone-whether clergy or laity, theologian or neophyte-contemplating a retreat. The author of several books on prayer and spirituality, Silf offers advice that is fairly generic-though as the subtitle aptly suggests, this book is best suited for the Christian community. Most of the book focuses on a structured retreat experience, generally at an established center, but Silf also defines a retreat as any break from everyday life spent in solitude, prayer, or meditation. In addition to describing what readers can expect on a retreat, Silf provides a list of such centers in 25 states, many of which are affiliated with the Catholic Church. Members of Protestant denominations might locate other centers through their local church or by word of mouth-which, as Silf points out, is a good source since such recommendations are based on personal experience. Suggestions for preparing for retreats and for returning to one's workaday world afterward are included, as is a recommended reading list. Very suitable for public and church libraries.
