Silence and Stillness in Every Season

Many people across the world have found their spiritual lives enriched by the daily practice of Christian Meditation, a contemplative way of silent prayer taught by Benedictine monk John Main (1926-1982). It is a tradition grounded in Biblical wisdom, the early Christian desert monks, and the spiritual classic The Cloud of Unknowing. This collection of John Main’s teaching from his talks and books draws the essence of his teachings into one volume. Paul Harris has devotedly selected the essential extracts from each of John Main’s works and arranged them into an attractive and practical daily readings format.

Every morning and evening these daily readings offer gentle encouragement and wise inspiration. Laurence Freeman OSB, Benedictine monk
