Description
James Finley recognizes the depth and range of today's spiritual yearning and refuses to settle for anything but its most profound possibilities. He opens our everyday living to the contemplative traditions, practices, and teaching that have been traditionally the preserve of the monk, and he does so without diluting them. The Contemplative Heart, enables readers to realize that wherever we live, whatever we do, the richest possibilities of a contemplative life are within our reach-that they are in fact what we have been searching for all along. - from Amzon

Finley reflects on his life, emphasizing the fundamental principles of the contemplation. He presents three directives: find a contemplative practice and practice it; find a contemplative community and enter it; find your contemplative teaching and follow it.
In a prayer group, Finley's unique and precise descriptions of practicing the prayer of silence may be helpful.
