{"product_id":"contemplative-prayer-thomas-merton-9780385092197","title":"Contemplative Prayer","description":"In this classic text, Thomas Merton offers valuable guidance for prayer. He brings together a wealth of meditative and mystical influences-from John of the Cross to Eastern desert monasticism-to create a spiritual path for today. Most important, he shows how the peace contacted through meditation should not be sought in order to evade the problems of contemporary life, but can instead be directed back out into the world to affect positive change. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eContemplative Prayer \u003c\/i\u003eis one of the most well-known works of spirituality of the last one hundred years, and it is a must-read for all seeking to live a life of purpose in today's world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn a moving and profound introduction, Thich Nhat Hanh offers his personal recollections of Merton and compares the contemplative traditions of East and West.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Merton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0385092199\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780385092197\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Image\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/1971\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.20w x 0.40d","brand":"Thomas Merton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44049142251775,"sku":"9780385092197","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1308af5b-ef2c-42b5-97fd-559c081492db.jpg?v=1684999876","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/contemplative-prayer-thomas-merton-9780385092197","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
