Do you know anything about the book Open Mind Open Heart by Thomas Keating? Is it Catholic or something else? Thank you.
Love,
Margaret

From the back of the book, which I have but haven't been able to get through, Thomas Keating is a Cistercian priest, monk, and abbot. It is the first book in a trilogy and is followed by "The Mystery of Christ" and "Invitation to Love." He resides at St. Benedict's Monastery in Snowmass, CO.

"... the book moves beyond "discursive meditation and particular acts to tie intuitive level of contemplation." Keating gives an overview of the history of contemplative prayer in the Christian tradition, and step-by-step guidance in the method of centering prayer."

If you don't have it and would like it, PM me...it's just collecting dust on my shelf.
