By Thomas Merton

A short tome that discusses the theory of contemplative prayer. Merton discusses the interplay between active and contemplative prayer (and their adherents) pointing out the need for both in the community. The focus is on the monastic life, but it has application across communities. This version has an introduction by Thich Nhat Hanh and ends with a study guide for group use.

Just a note, as I was asked by someone who saw me reading it – this is a not an introductory text in the actual practice of contemplative prayer.
