Book description
The magnum opus of our most important living Catholic author--a pioneer in the Christian contemplative life and spiritual writing. Unlike any book he's written before, Brother David Steindl-Rast offers spiritual direction from a unique perspective in history. At 96 years old, he has counted Shunryu Suzuki Roshi, Thomas Merton, H. H. the Dalai Lama, and Thomas Keating as friends and teachers. He has learned much, and offers it here.
