This is a book about knowing God. It is for those for whom just believing (or not believing) is no longer enough. Through personal experience, anecdote and story, a priest shares an ancient, but neglected aspect of Christian prayer. Contemplation takes us into the depths of the present moment, the only reality there has ever been and so the only place where God can be found. It takes us at different times into mystical oneness with the All, into profound self-knowledge and reveals love in the midst of the world. Contemplation is the universal experience at the heart of all religions. It is the place where their differences fall away and their uniqueness is celebrated. "From the Bottom of the Pond" seeks simply to be helpful. It says nothing new, but says it in a new way; a way rooted in our western culture and history. It suggests that the essence of the great and wonderful enlightenment teachings of the East was always here, hidden in plain sight.

    The Good Book Stall

    Average rating of0.0

    This is a book about prayer and contemplation. It gives advice on how to pray and how to lose oneself in contemplation in order to find oneself in the reality of the moment where God can be encountered. Although the author is a Christian priest whose spirituality is grounded in Western culture, he draws on the traditions and experience of the Eastern religions to enlighten and to teach. He admits that true prayer and real contemplation are difficult to achieve and require much patience and practice. In a wide-ranging survey the author draws from his own experience and that of others. With this book the reader will learn the best way to focus the mind so as to arrive at that state which gives peace and stillness and true communion with God.
