Word Into Silence

Word Into Silence is John Main's classic book on learning to pray meditatively, creating a space for silence and simplicity in our busy schedules, so that we may begin to discover God a the ground of our being and to find our true selves.  Word Into Silence offers a practical, twelve-step programme in learning meditative prayer, but it is not as much about mastering a set of techniques, escaping from life's challenges and difficulties, or cultivating a self-conscious piety.  Its purpose is to teach us first how to be at peace with ourselves in order that we might let presence of Christ flood our whole lives and our relationships.
