Holger Junghardt: Jesus and the Contemplative Life, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

A contemplative path in the presence of Christ - toward an undivided heart and freedom from fear.

Fear often shapes human life more deeply than we care to admit. We fear loss, uncertainty, suffering - and ultimately death. Even our achievements and religious efforts can become attempts to shield ourselves from what we cannot control.

Jesus and the Contemplative Life introduces the rich Christian tradition of contemplation - a path that leads beyond fear toward an undivided heart.

Drawing on the Gospels, the Lord's Prayer, the Sermon on the Mount, and the wisdom of the contemplative tradition, this book shows how life changes when it is lived from the presence of Christ.

Contemplation thus becomes more than silence - it becomes a life of trust, courage, and freedom from fear.

This book leads to the heart of the Christian faith and opens a way to embody it in one's own life.

"An unusual journey of discovery into the depths of one's own being."
