After many years leading an international humanitarian organization, Phileena Heuertz experienced the deconstruction of her identity, worldview, and faith. Centering prayer, a Christian expression of mindfulness, was a crucial remedy for her fragmented condition, offering a more peace-filled and purposeful life. The hallmarks of contemplative spirituality—solitude, silence, and stillness—have never been more important for our society: In solitude, we develop the capacity to be present. In silence, we cultivate the ability to listen. In stillness, we acquire the skill of self-control. 

Contemplative prayer helps us discern the voice of God, uncover our true self, and live a life of meaning and purpose. This is an opportunity to go deeper with God—to experience the Divine and be transformed.  Hardcover. 182 pages
