Contemplative Provocations

Edición de la obra Contemplative Provocations

For those who are spiritually courageous and full of desire for God, this book will provoke them to persevere in this ultimate adventure in life--the more complete discovery of the living God. Thematically unified by the notion of God's ultimate transcendence to our limited human knowledge, this work offers a rich profusion of insights on the life of prayer and the prusuit of God. A key to spiritual growth is the understanding that the hiddenness of God becomes a paradox in the experience of a soul seeking him wholeheartedly. Rather than enjoying a more intimate familiarity with God, the soul advancing in prayer is likely to experience more intensely the concealment of God. This suprising truth undergirds true contemplative prayer. --Back cover
