What is Invitation to love : the way of Christian contemplation about?

The practice of centering prayer, which Father Keeting presented in his bestselling Open Mind, Open Heart, is the beginning of aprocess of spiritual growth. In this present work he outlines and explains the actual stages of this process. In the course of numerous workshops and retreats Father Keating is asked many questions regarding contemplative practice. How will it affect my life? Where does it lead us spiritually? What obstacles will I encounter along the way? How does it work? As Keating answers, this book is "an attempt to provide a road map, as it were, for the journay that begins when centering prayer is seriously undertaken, and to point to some of the recognizble landmarks on the journey as well as to its ultimate destination .. The regular practice of contemplative prayer initiates a healing process that might be called "the divine therapy" ... The gift of contemplative prayer is a practical and essential tool for confronting the heart of Christian discipline .. while at the same time establishing the climate and necessary dispositions for a deepening relationship with God and leading, if we persevere, to divine union."
