Appreciating the images of the author, Steindl-Rast, and his past. . .
Mother and grandmother images, guiding him in his faith connections to God whilst yet a child. A gentle approach to prayer and the import of silence in our own faith understanding and in the depth of his insights.
Valuing the reading of these truths.

I am impressed with this introduction to the author's writings and recommend adding The Way of Silence to other contemplatives pursuing spiritual journeys and parents considering the import of the effect of their spirituality on others including their children.

This book stirs your soul for a deeper understanding of the value of quiet meditation in your daily life. author has placed emphasis on tuning out the noise of the world in order to pray, listen to your inner self and appreciate the life around you, its a valuable work to add to your prayer and self help libraries.
