In the pattern of a growing number of Catholic contemplatives since the day of Thomas Merton, John Michael Talbot's book "Come to the Quiet" melded the Christian West, the Christian East, and non Christian sources. I am not sure exactly how to fill out this review. It is a book that I am not sure I'll pass out to my friends, yet a book I've returned to over and over. It gives specific steps and exercises to help the novice grow in contemplative meditation, yet these exercises will be outgrown in time. It is thoroughly Christian, yet contains enough non Christian philosophy to make some people nervous. It does a better job than most at describing the practices of the contemplative life, yet does not go as far as Merton or John of the Cross into the mystery of the mystic.The book helped me to grow.
