The Thomas Keating Reader

Selected Writings from the Contemplative Outreach Newsletter

By: Thomas Keating

Narrated by: Ralph Morocco

For a quarter of a century, Trappist monk Fr. Thomas Keating contributed articles on centering prayer - the contemporary manifestation of the ancient Christian contemplative traditionto the newsletter of Contemplative Outreach, the organization that he helped establish to promote this tradition.

The Thomas Keating Reader gathers for the first time 30 of those articles (some never published elsewhere) to offer a valuable overview of some of the main strands of Fr. Thomas’ thinking and practice on centering prayer, lectio divina, and interreligious dialogue. Rich with insight and humanity, The Thomas Keating Reader offers a broad introduction to the concepts that have animated Contemplative Outreach and reveals the gifts and challenges of the practice of the spiritual life.

Monotone, monotone, monotone

I've tried to listen several times, and even if I make it through a couple of chapters, I have no idea what Keating is talking about... The narrator is flat, boring, sleep inducing and monotone.

Can't even tell you what it's about. It just drones on and on!
