Contemplative Christianity

 The God Who Is Here, is available at www.Lanternbooks.com. Please read, share with others.

Here is a preview of the back-cover blurb from the publisher:

While some suggest the problems we face today can be solved by updating Christianity or ridding ourselves of religious faith altogether, The God Who Is Here demonstrates how the rediscovery of the contemplative way can lead to a deeper relationship with God and a vibrant way of doing church. This work draws on the rich tradition of Christian mysticism and contemplative prayer (as expressed through the work most recently of Fr. Thomas Keating). With deep biblical insight and poetic expression, The God Who Is Here speaks to those longing for spiritual guidance with the promise that nothing can separate us from the love of God.

Presbyterian pastor Peter Traben Haas draws on his own life experiences and his personal witness of Christians from across the denominations who are engaged in deep spiritual practice. Haas has constructed a contemplative theology that allows both a more profound connection to the essential truths of Christianity and an expansive vision of faith within the miraculous discoveries of science and cosmology. Passionate, evocative, and deeply committed to the wonders of a daily connection with God, The God Who Is Here is a stirring new contribution to the Christian community by an important new voice in the world of Centering Prayer.

“An important work. Haas has written a compelling book for those seeking the inner heart of Christianity.”—Robin Amis, Director of the Praxis Research Institute and author, A Different Kind of Christianity

“A wonderful, thoughtful, and meaningful book on the presence of God. It is both classic and contemporary in its expression of biblical truth, and it is written with a spiritual elegance that is both edifying and engaging.”—Robert A. Fryling, Vice-President of InterVarsityPress and author, The Leadership Ellipse
