Description
James Finley recognizes the depth and range of today's spiritual yearning and refuses to settle for anything but its most profound possibilities. He opens our everyday living to the contemplative traditions, practices, and teaching that have been traditionally the preserve of the monk, and he does so without diluting them. The Contemplative Heart enables readers to realize that wherever we live, whatever we do, the richest possibilities of a contemplative life are within our reach-that they are in fact what we have been searching for all along.

“Inspires, consoles, affirms, challenges.”
“James Finley inspires, consoles, affirms, challenges, and convinces me of what he believes and teaches. His work has a profound depth, yet touches the commonness of our everyday existence. I will sit with this book for a long time and return to it often.”
Joyce Rupp
Author of Open the Door“A lovely and lyrical lesson.”
“A lovely and lyrical lesson—one in which the medium is also the message about the contemplative approach to the direct realization of the presence of God. Finley's medication instructions, precise and poetic, are useful for people with all levels of contemplative experience.”
Sylvia Boorstein
