A Listening Heart: The Art of Contemplation Book

Newly revised, designed, and expanded edition of "not just one of the better books on the spiritual life but one of the really great ones." - St. Anthony Messenger. A Listening Heart - David Steindl-Rast's first book - was published 20 years ago to widespread acclaim. It has nourished many souls since that time. This new edition, one-third of it completely new, will nourish even more. It is on its way to becoming a classic of spiritual reading. "There is a universality here that touches the heart of all who seek to listen." - Studies in Formative Spirituality. "David Steindl-Rast has earned a reputation as a bridge-builder between East and West in matters of religion and is considered by many to be the foremost bearer of the standard of Christian ecumenism laid down by Thomas Merton. With this book, Brother David proves to be adept at bridging a far more profound chasm than that between Christianity and Buddhism: the gap between ordinary conscious experience and genuine contemplation. A gem of a book." - Parabola.Read More
