Finally: A book that demystifies mysticism and contemplative prayer.

For those who seek to know the way to mysticism, do not consult the great masters until you read the writings of this humble Carmelite hermit. Fr.

Fr. McNamara dispells the myths about contemplative prayer and zeros in on the fact that, far from zoning out, contemplative prayer is a complete concentration in the moment.
