For those who long to commune deeply with Christ

This book won the 2005 "Christianity Today Book Award" in the Spirituality category--and for good reason. It is distinctly Christian and it's as refreshing as a sea mist on an August day. Through her work, Ruth Haley Barton leads readers in the power of the Holy Spirit to a place of deeper intimacy with God.

Exellent shared prayer experiences

I think meditation in all faith traditions is about being still and being aware of the Great One (God, Wisdom, True Self, however you name IT) inside us. So it is with Barton's book, except that as a Christian, she wrote about being aware of God and His voice. I find this book wonderful in that Barton shared a lot of her own personal prayer experiences and she articulated for me what I myself felt and went through as I discovered how much silence I needed. I can also resonate with Barton's continual need to withdraw into silence so that I can hear God. Her prayer practices at the end of each chapter are suitable for all faith traditions. Some of the pratices might appear Zen-inspired, as one review here says, but really, I find this no issue at all.
