Being Still by Jean-Yves Leloup
For more than fifteen hundred years, Christianity has cultivated a rich and varied teaching on the practice of stillness and inner calm. Here we can find answers to the contemporary psychological struggle for inner peace.In a fresh and engaging reading of this ancient contemplative spirituality, Jean-Yves Leloup explores the writings of many spiritual masters from across the centuries. In particular he focuses on the Desert Fathers, the fourth-century monk Evagrius, St. John Cassian, and the anonymous 19th-century author of The Way of the Pilgrim. Drawn from the experience of the monasteries of Sinai and Mount Athos, here is a clear and practical presentation of the spiritual art of arts: stillness in the face of interior pain and confusion.
Jean-Yves Leloup is a theologian and the founder of the International College of Therapists and the Institute of Other Cultures Studies. Jesus and Judas, The Holy Embrace of Jesus and Mary, Mary Magdalene's Gospel, Philip's Gospel, and Thomas' Gospel are among his works. He is based in France.
