Description: In the third of his best-selling books on Christian contemplative life, Martin Laird turns his attention to those just entering the contemplative path and to those with a maturing practice of contemplation.

Laird draws from a wide and diverse range of writers - from St. Augustine, Evagrius Ponticus, and St. Teresa of Avila to David Foster Wallace, Flannery O'Connor, Virginia Woolf, and Franz Wright - to ground his insight in an ancient practice and give it a voice in contemporary language.

With his characteristic lyricism and gentleness, Laird guides readers through new challenges of contemplative life, such as making ourselves the focus of our own contemplative project; dealing with old pain; transforming the isolation of loneliness and depression into a liberating solidarity with all who suffer; and the danger of using a spiritual practice as a strategy to acquire and control.
