The Lay Contemplative draws together a blend of story, theory and practical help for the many people who feel called to pursue a contemplative prayer life while living an active life in the world. This book provides a variety of resources that will assist the Christian layperson in deepening a contemplative vocation. The strong testimonies in Part One offer tangible support by describing real-life experiences of lay contemplation. They are stories from people who raise families, do housework, earn a living, struggle with relational and career problems, and who, at the same time, have identified within themselves an urgency to be contemplative. Part Two, "Guidelines for Growing as a Lay Contemplative, " grounds the lay contemplative movement in the history of the Church and ways of discernment. Part Three gives practical information about retreat centers and centers of formation that specialize in guiding lay contemplatives.
