Paul Harris Bücher

Der bekannte irische Benediktiner John Main (1926–1982) war ein weltweit gefragter Lehrer für christliche Meditation. Er trug wesentlich dazu bei, dass das ursprünglich von den Wüstenvätern stammende Herzens gebet wiederentdeckt wurde und heute von Christen auf der ganzen Welt praktiziert wird. In dieser Sammlung mit Texten für jeden Tag des Jahres leitet Main zum Schweigen, zur Stille und zur Ausrichtung auf Gott an und führt Schritt für Schritt immer tiefer in das Geheimnis des Herzensgebets ein. Sein Credo: Die Meditation ist einfach, aber nicht leicht. Sie verlangt das tägliche Üben in der Stille. Warmherzig, ermutigend und inspirierend nimmt John Main uns mit auf die Reise zur eigenen Mitte.

A Long Reconstruction details the denomination's journey with unification and justice.
