A fabulous introduction to the Christian mystical tradition of hesychasm,
This review is from: Being Still: Reflections on an Ancient Mystical Tradition (Paperback)
This is a great book. I first became aware of it when I noticed that many of the Benedictine sisters at a local monastery were reading this book. Intrigued, I had to see what it was about. The book offers a magnificent introduction into the way of the Christian mystical tradition, offered through beautiful stories, information on the mystical forebearers on this path of contemplation, and contemporary knowledge. It is a book to come back to again and again, rich with wisdom and inspiration. The path of stillness is one we should all trod. There is nothing more enriching to our spiritual lives than for us to quiet down and listen to the voice of God within and without.

Pearls of Wisdom,

This review is from: Being Still: Reflections on an Ancient Mystical Tradition (Paperback)
Jean-Yves Leloup has condensed the wisdom earned by years of spiritual discipline into a readable little book of pearls. I keep it by my bedside and read a little every night and then meditate on its meaning as I go to sleep.
