The Way of Unknowing

This book of John Main's richly consistent teaching will serve a double purpose:  to encourage and deepen further the pilgrimage of the heart on which people already in meditation are engaged; and to introduce people for the first time to the journey which he said it is only necessary to begin.

In these short chapters the voice of John Main helps to prepare the reader for this simplicity of the state of pure prayer.  Listening attentively to the voice will prepare you for meditation.  This book, then is to be read in conjunction with the experience of prayer.  It is not about meditation.  It is for meditation.
