This informative and practical guidebook for today's Christian describes the time-tested method of praying with the Scriptures for wisdom and guidance and joy! Father Basil Pennington defines Lectio Divina as the art of letting God, our Divine Friend, speak to us through his inspired Word. But more than that, lectio also involves our response to the Word received: it is a two-way communication. This method and discipline is universal in application and has been practiced by monastics and other Christians for over a thousand years.
M. Basil Pennington, O.C.S.O. is a spiritual father, retreat master, lecturer and author of many books, including Centering Prayer, Vatican II and Awake in the Spirit. His permanent residence is at St. Joseph's Monastery in Spencer, Massachusetts.
