4.0 out of 5 stars Not just for monks, April 22, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: The ladder of monks: A letter on the contemplative life and Twelve meditations
Guigo II was a 12th-century Carthusian monk, the ninth prior of the Grande Chartreuse.

This is the classic work on lectio divina, a way of incorporating sacred reading in prayer. While not a how-to manual, this little book outlines four steps in lectio divina: reading, meditation, prayer, and contemplation. Guigo also provides an easily-understood rationale for this way of prayer.

This English translation is by the editors of the critical Latin-French edition in the Sources Chretiennes series.
