Cairns, Paul David Lawson, and Gail Fitzpatrick-Hopler. Keating's influence in reviving centering prayer, a form of lectio divina, is explored, and the essays expand on this practice while applying it to broader spiritual concerns. While not intended as an introduction, the collection's in-depth exploration makes it a valuable resource for experienced readers. It offers insights into the rewarding yet challenging nature of centering prayer, suitable for individual use and group discussions.
