Full Description
Thomas Keating, author of Open Mind, Open Heart and father of the centering prayer movement, reflects on his life and Christian practice.
In these conversations with film maker and writer Lucette Verboven, Thomas Keating OCSO - bestselling author, Trappist monk and founder of the Centering Prayer movement - looks back on his long life and spiritual development.
Following on from his previous books Invitation to Love, Open Mind, Open Heart and The Mystery of Christ, Father Keating now turns his attention to the themes of awakening, the nature of true happiness and the character and purpose of death.
World Without End also contains an interview with Abbot Joseph Boyle OCSO, who presides over the monastery where Father Keating is resident, high in the Rocky Mountains in Snowmass, Colorado.
Verboven's insightful questions probe into the depths of Father Keating's spirituality, discussing identity, transformation, silence, nature and the cosmos - themes universal and applicable to all those searching for a deeper and more meaningful life.
