"For all those aspiring to a genuine spiritual life, Father Keating
has charted a course that will take us progressively closer to our
divine goal as we learn to touch God, first with the words of our
lips, then with reflections of the mind and with the feelings of
the heart." --Living Prayer
"Packed into this book is a treasury of spiritual history and
teaching. There is a richness of complexity which is always
disciplined by the simplicity of the goal of prayer--union (or
intimacy) with God." --St. Anthony Messenger
"This is perhaps Keating's most readable and enlightening work.
Filled with insight and practical advice, it offers sound wisdom on
the way that centering prayer can deepen our intimacy with God."
