INTO THE SILENT LAND – Martin Laird

This totally readable book takes us on a tour of the again oft-forgotten history of contemplative practice as lived out in the Christian tradition over the last 2000 years. For those who wish to embark on such an inner journey in our day and age, Fr Martin offers a straightforward approach to contemplative practice and some insights into how folk have navigated the many hurdles which people of all traditions encounter in the course of this journey. I’m on my 5th reading of it – surely a classic.
