In this book, Fr Gerry Pierse shows the further movement from the silence of meditation into enriched and meaningful service. Starting with John Main's very simple instruction on how to Meditate, Fr. Pierse offers a sries of insights into the Christian tradition of meditation and how meditation relates to other traditions and methods of prayer. He then turns to a series of reflective pieces on meditation itself, how it is done and how it relates to many of the major issues and concern of today's Christians. Finally, he shows how sustained meditation leads one to a more active, productive and enriching ministry as a member of the People of God.
