Christian Meditation originated in the need to express the essentials of meditation in the Christian tradition for people leading weekly meditation groups in our world-wide community of Christian meditation. But because these essentials are so simple – simplicity itself – the book can serve equally well as an introduction to meditation for anyone wishing to deepen his spiritual life. These essentials are practical. Meditation is simple. That is why it so easily becomes complicated. This book suggests a way of understanding and of undertaking such a simple path for people who are likely to have basic questions and who may even have been led to think that meditation is complex and difficult.
