Reflections of a Country Pastor: Meditations for the Common Person

By Raymond Decker

Meditation is by its very nature is subjective. By exposing the reader to the collective wisdom of ages past, that of the mystics in particular, the author introduces a series of universal topics that affect us all in order to stimulate personal reflection and meditation. Taking one topic for meditation at at time, one sentence at a time, the reader uses this small volume as a guide to the process of contemplative reading. It is not necessary to use the sequence the author presents, but to follow one's interest and intuition, as Thomas Merton suggests, "to rise above thought and penetrate onto the mystery of truth." The words here are not important unto themselves, but "are only meant as a catalyst; what truly matters is your personal response to them."
