Favorite monastic teacher, Fr. Anthony Delisi guides the reader through the depths of what it really means to follow Jesus's instructions for prayer: "When you pray, go to your inner room, close the door, and pray to your Father in secret." This warm and helpful book is for all who have had trouble praying because memories, family, loves, concerns--life!--gets in the way. According to Delisi, founder of the worldwide Lay Cistercian movement, Jesus invites us to enter our interior cellar, lock the door, descend the steps, and in the darkness let our childhood fears come to the surface. He shares his own experiences and reflections on his way toward discovering God's deepest healing. In the tradition of great writers who can communicate the value of monastic spirituality for all people--Thomas Merton, M. Basil Pennington, Thomas Keating--Fr. Anthony Delisi is a reliable guide.
