Wie außergewöhnlich einfach und einleuchtend. Ich kenne keine andere Lehre in dieser Form die den Geist des Evangeliums, des lebendigen Wortes, so direkt und geradeaus mitten ins Herz hineinträgt. Laurence Freeman ***Ein Klassiker der Meditations-Literatur, der seinen Titel zu Recht trägt. Mit diesem Buch und der in ihm vermittelten Praxis taucht man tief in das Mysterium Gottes ein.
