The Hunger for Depth and Meaning: Learning to Meditate ...

John Main (1926-1982) has been acclaimed as one of the great spiritual teachers of the twentieth century. By his life and teaching, John Main has helped restore to Christianity its own tradition of meditation and enabled many to discover its transforming power for themselves. He founded an open Benedictine community in Montreal from which sprang The World Community for Christian Meditation (WCCM).

These talks correspond with Fr John's original spoken word on a set of 10 CDs under the same title. His very contemporary Christian contemplative teaching addresses the spiritual anguish of people in all walks of life struggling to make sense of their lives. The talks retain the authority, simplicity and humour with which Fr John taught. They are arranged thematically to give a clear and comprehensive overview of Fr John's teaching of prayer.

This book offers inspiration and encouragement for the practice of meditation.
