This review is from: A Sunlit Absence: Silence, Awareness, and Contemplation (Hardcover)
Readers of Laird's Into the Silent Land will be eager to get their hands on this companion volume. This book, like Laird's previous one, is destined to become a classic text. He skillfully weaves together contemporary psychological savvy with patristic and desert sources on the prayer of the heart. A true gem written by the contemplative's contemplative.

This review is from: A Sunlit Absence: Silence, Awareness, and Contemplation (Hardcover)
I found this book to be an excellent follow-up to his first book on the subject of contemplation. Even though I lived as a cloistered contemplative monk for many years & have read a great deal on this topic & have given many contemplative retreats, I still found this book to be very insightful, with many quotes from teachers in this tradition as well as a very unique & beautiful way of presenting. A very clear, concise & poetic presentation. I highly recommend this book along with its companion book.Rev. Robert J. Powell |
