The Grateful Heart
Summary
The fountainhead of all philosophy and religion, teaches Brother David Steindl-Rast, is our sense of amazement at being in the world. To cross the gap between doctrine and the divine, we have been given the gift of prayer. In The Grateful Heart, you will hear Brother David describe prayer not as a dogmatic ritual but as a way of opening to the blessings that await us in everyday life. Since 1953, when Brother David retreated to the Mount Savior monastery in upstate New York, he has studied what he calls "the lifting up of the human heart and mind to God". In The Grateful Heart, he focuses on the major characteristics of prayer, including: perennial prayer - the inner gesture that is the essence of prayer in all cultures and religions; the evolution and history of prayer, including the "prayer house" movement; and the future of prayer. With a passion for life, Brother David inspires a welcome dialogue that embraces the intellectual as well as the spiritual.

The Way of Silence
Summary
The Way of Silence draws heavily on Buddhist teachings to cultivate the practice of "deep" listening: turning away from noise and distraction, paying attention, and embracing quiet. The Way of Silence embraces paradox: absence versus presence in silence. Dynamic tranquility. The all-oneness of aloneness. Humbly, trusting in God, you'll practice emptying your mind in order to receive wisdom, insight, and understanding. You'll learn to listen deeply, with a trusting heart - and you'll joyously discover a new, interior freedom that will make you feel more vibrant, and more fully alive.
