"Open Mind, Open Heart" aims to lead the reader into a deep, living relationship with God. Keating gives an overview of the history of contemplative prayer in the Christian tradition, and step-by-step guidance in the method of centring prayer. Special attention is paid to the role of the sacred word, Christian growth and transformation, and active prayer. "Invitation to Love: The Way of Christian Contemplation" is the natural next step. In "Open Mind, Open Heart", Father Keating presents the beginning of a process of spiritual growth. In this book, he outlines and explains the actual stages of this process, tackling questions such as: How will it affect my life? Where does it lead us spiritually? What obstacles will I encounter along the way? Why is it necessary? How does it work? The third book, "Intimacy with God", offers practical advice on the way that centring prayer can deepen our intimacy with God. 462016 5 2002 Foundations for Centering Prayer and the Christian Contemplative Life: Open Mind, Open Heart, Invitation to Love, Mystery of Christ total:5|5:0|4:1|3:0|2:0|1:0| 5 22 9 0 4 0 false false Thu Oct 22 10:16:17 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 22 10:16:17 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Apr 12 14:41:44 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 12 14:41:44 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Apr 08 12:02:41 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 08 12:02:41 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Tue Mar 31 19:18:40 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 31 19:18:40 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Mon Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Mar 01 05:48:53 -0800 2009 Sun Mar 01 05:49:23 -0800 2009 3 0 0 false false Wed Dec 31 15:47:25 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 31 15:47:29 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Fri Sep 05 10:48:55 -0700 2008 Fri Sep 05 10:48:55 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Sat Mar 01 16:13:34 -0800 2008 Sat Mar 01 16:13:34 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Mon Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2005 Thu Jul 26 11:32:05 -0700 2007 Thu Jul 26 11:32:05 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=473752
