Julie Saad Contemplative Life

Annotation

This book started out as a guidebook on the Contemplative Living Experience program, a spiritual formation program in contemplative life offered by Contemplative Outreach. It grew into a story about how a life dedicated to contemplative prayer can be transformed when one consents to the presence and action of God within, the divine indwelling. Because Julie's teaching style comes out of her lived experience, the book also became part memoir and part practical application of Thomas Keating's teaching. You will likely be able to relate to many of the examples from her life which will remind you of similar experiences you've had in your life, all in this exploration of contemplative prayer and its movement into a deeper relationship with the Ultimate Mystery.
