Daily Reader for contemplative Thomas Keating
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This is the second copy of this book. The first one fell apart with much reading. Daily excerpts from Keatings works, inspiring, seems to say so much with little words. Looking for something short, and yet informing, this is your book.
Transforming Us Into Christ

Centering prayer has one primary goal: to transform us into the image of Christ. This day-by-day reinforcement of the means of that transformation is invaluable. I use it every day.
The Daily Reader Fits the Daily Schedule
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Excellent opportunity for short contemplative prayer time or for expanded prayer time utilizing centering prayer and lectio divina with provided selections. Like the notion of themes. Excellent.
meditation for a day
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
This wonderful book provides a biblical quote for every day and a short meditation on it. It provides something to ponder during those free moments during the day when you wish to turn your thoughts to God and refresh your spirit for the tasks at hand.
THE DAILY READER FOR CONTEMPLATIVE LIVING
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Frankly, The Daily Reader for Contemplative Living has surpassed any other of its kind in my experience. For me, the selections are exactly the right length and the Scriptural accompanient is very a propos. The selcetions are chosen with so much awreness and care. The book is a gem of ogranization: the meticulous indexes, the appendix, etc. not to speak of the arrangement of the selections themselves.
