Review Quotes: "Bourgeault will be a helpful guide to those who seek to find a viable daily Christian practice, while those who already have a daily discipline may find that her suggestions for chanting deepens and enlarges their experience."--Publishers Weekly, starred review
"The best book I've seen on the theory and practice of Christian contemplative psalmody."--Thomas Keating, author of Open Mind, Open Heart and Finding Grace at the Center "Few books ever manage to both inform and enthrall in equal measure the way this one does. The whole world of Christian spirituality owes Cynthia Bourgeault an enormous debt of gratitude for having given us a classic."--Phyllis Tickle, compiler of the Divine Hours series "Cynthia Bourgeault, a skillful teacher, offers you all of the do-it-yourself instructions you need to thoroughly enjoy the sacred tradition of change and so step from time into the eternal Now."--Br.
