Where Prayer Flourishes
Desert Monasticism, Influences & Suggested Reading, Scripture & Prayer, The Inner Journey
Thomas Merton is one of the most influential spiritual figures of the twentieth century. A Trappist monk, he was also a bestselling writer whose works are regarded as spiritual classics. Originally published under the title The Climate of Monastic Prayer, Where Prayer Flourishes is his final work.
It is full of accessible and practical teaching for anyone that wants to explore prayer to its full dimensions. Merton argues that prayer flourishes best in the desert. Here, he shows how to find the desert in the midst of the busy world.
Where Prayer Flourishes will open a treasury of teaching about prayer to a wider audience.

Fragile Mystics connects our present-day yearnings and wrestlings to pray effectively with those of the mystics and holy people from the Christian past. Understanding prayer as something that is actively lived rather than set apart, and focusing on concepts such as Gaze, Deep, Thanks, Link and Dream, Magdalan Smith helps us to recover and transform our inner spaces. Whether an individual or a group leader, you will find excellent advice on putting these ideas into practice.

Soul Making
Desert Monasticism
Soul Making – The Desert Way of Spirituality – by Alan Jones
A leading spiritual writer recovers “the desert way of believing” – the spiritual pathway discovered by early Christian monks who lived in the Egyptian desert that is still relevant to Christians today. Alan Jones distills the elements that made this fully orthodox way of inner transformation a unique and important part of the early church. Refreshingly readable and filled with rich insights, Soul Making draws together the spirituality of modern literature and elements of psychology. Jones shows how the desert way can become for any spiritual seeker a soul-stretching means of experiencing the “wonder, mystery and awe” at the heart of Christian faith.
