review: Editorial Reviews Review "What a meaningful resource Lindsay Boyer has created in Centering Prayer for Everyone! Like the best contemplative teaching, it is pithy, clear, and simple. . . . Lindsay's skills as a spiritual guide, contemplative teacher, and writer are evident on each page." --David Frenette, author of The Path of Centering Prayer: Deepening Your Experience of God "I have been waiting for a book like Lindsay Boyer's Centering Prayer for Everyone for a long time. There are many excellent books about contemplative prayer but none with the scope and practical guidance that this one includes. For the past decade or so I have been referring seekers to Lindsay's highly informative website, and now she is offering an entire book with a clear, inclusive voice and even more practical guidance in centering prayer, lectio divina, walking meditation, and chanting the Psalms." --Anne Silver, Director, Center for Christian Spirituality at General Theological Seminary "Centering Prayer for Everyone is a little gem. . . . brimming over with ways and means to practice silence: formats, beautiful prayers, resources, and everything you as a budding contemplative need to carve out and create a place for silence within your heart and within your own home." --Gail Fitzpatrick-Hopler, founding member and former president, Contemplative Outreach "A welcoming and gentle guide into unlocking our longing for silence which is God's first language and from which the contemplative journey begins--take the first step." --Carl J. Arico, founding member, Contemplative Outreach, author of A Taste of Silence About the Author Lindsay Boyer is a spiritual director specializing in working with those who are uncomfortable with institutional religion. She is an adjunct professor at General Theological Seminary and a leader of retreats and workshops on contemplative prayer. She can be reached at her website, Spirituality for Questioning Minds.
