Frankly, The Daily Reader for Contemplative Living has surpassed any other of its kind in my experience. For me, the selections are exactly the right length and the Scriptural accompanient is very a propos. The selcetions are chosen with so much awreness and care. The book is a gem of ogranization: the meticulous indexes, the appendix, etc. not to speak of the arrangement of the selections themselves.

This wonderful book provides a biblical quote for every day and a short meditation on it. It provides something to ponder during those free moments during the day when you wish to turn your thoughts to God and refresh your spirit for the tasks at hand.

Excellent opportunity for short contemplative prayer time or for expanded prayer time utilizing centering prayer and lectio divina with provided selections. Like the notion of themes. Excellent.

Centering prayer has one primary goal: to transform us into the image of Christ. This day-by-day reinforcement of the means of that transformation is invaluable. I use it every day.

This book gives you a short devotional thought each day that gives you a lot to chew on. I am finding this helpful in conjucntion with some other resources from the Contemplative Outreach Center. It is supplementing my spiritual discipline practices and helping me connect with God.

This is the second copy of this book. The first one fell apart with much reading. Daily excerpts from Keatings works, inspiring, seems to say so much with little words. Looking for something short, and yet informing, this is your book.

Father Thomas Keating writes a devotional treasure! He is much like Thomas Merton in his depth of spirituality.

I love this book as will and all of the things Thomas Keating writes.
He is an inspiration to all.

This is very helpful for quiet time contemplation. Each day has a different quote and reflective paragrah to use.

This little reader has become a "bread" of daily reading and I use it for the afternoon sitting session. My only wish is that this is available on the Kindle Reader, so I have it with my always. I've asked multiple times-- let's get this prepared for Kindle! It's long overdue. Thanks:
