Prayer of the Heart, an early Christian form of contemplative prayer, has once again become commonplace in the Christian community thanks to the efforts of Trappist monks. Father Basil Pennington, one of the pioneer leaders in this movement, here tells the story of this recovery of contemplative prayer as it was experienced, first in the United States and then in different parts of the world.
As far as writing for the layperson is concerned, Basil Pennington may have been one of the best. In Daily We Touch Him, Fr. Pennington covered everything he could think of that might be a concern to the beginner at meditation and centering prayer. A thoroughly well-done book. I only wish we could expect to hear more from the author. This is a book to which I will be referring again.
