Contemplative Provocations

For those who are spiritually courageous and full of desire for God, this book will provoke them to persevere in this ultimate adventure in life--the more complete discovery of the living God. Thematically unified by the notion of God's ultimate transcendence to our limited human knowledge, this work offers a rich profusion of insights on the life of prayer and the prusuit of God. A key to spiritual growth is the understanding that the hiddenness of God becomes a paradox in the experience of a soul seeking him wholeheartedly. Rather than enjoying a more intimate familiarity with God, the soul advancing in prayer is likely to experience more intensely the concealment of God. This suprising truth undergirds true contemplative prayer. --Back cover
