Lectio divina - the ancient art of sacred reading - is much more than simply a way of comprehending the words printed on a page. Understood properly, sacred reading expands into an entire approach to living. At its heart is the application of the prayerful life, which this engaging book explores.
It also looks at an ancient Christian technique of prayer. Drawing upon his personal spiritual resources and deep familiarity with the Bible and the sacred texts of the Western tradition, Michael Casey has crafted a remarkably beautiful book.
