A Taste of Silence
by Carl Arico

Based on the outcome of more than 20 years of experience with Centering Prayer, Father Carl J. Arico explores the fundamental practice of Centering Prayer in this book and how it impacts one's life. He also provides the practitioner with a historical foundation, balance, insight, a degree of humor and a peace of mind.

From Library Journal.  Like John Wesley or Jean de Caussade before him, Catholic priest Arico provides the devout with a model and method for the attainment of a deeper spirituality; unlike them, he feels free to draw wisdom not only from Christian and ancient models but also from Sufism and Thomas Merton to show us how "God is calling us from our tombs" to the experience of "divine union." Arico's spirituality and warmth are profound, and his guide should be well received by most Christian readers.
