Experientially Very Obvious Practical Benefits

After forty years of striving for the fruit of inner peace, inwardly- and outwardly-obvious peace are being very easily generated, easy to come by and persistently manifested. I warm myself by the Fire in the "Heart-h" of the Father, using this exceedingly-valuable resource every single evening.

What a great find for me!

I loved this book and the way the author unfolds the aspects of centering prayer. I have listened several times and pick up new insight every time. Great presentation of an ancient prayer.

Wise Guidance

David Frenette gives us a flowing session of contemplative prayer guidance in a few hours. I practiced Centering for 20 years or more before incorporating these practical tips into my own Centering. Contemplation or Centering exist as discipline or practice not as a body of knowledge one learns and simply enjoys. Most listeners will listen to these tips, apply some, listen again refine and supplement a personal practice, and repeat as needed.
