Christian Mindfulness by Peter Tyler
Beginning with an exploration of the practice of mindfulness in its Buddhist origins, Peter Tyler reflects on the practical use of mindfulness, its place within the Christian tradition of prayer, and its future within the Christian tradition.
..a unique book. It is both about finding mindfulness in Christian prayer and Christian prayer in mindfulness. It is a conversational meeting of Buddhist meditation and Trinitarian prayer. In many ways it is not about mindfulness at all. It is about heartfulness. Read and pray! -- Christopher CH Cook
"Professor Tyler draws on his considerable reading and experience to explore the vital role of prayer and meditation in the complex and troubled world in which we live today” -- Kevin McDonald
'This book has detail and depth and is well worth reading. Action is important for the Christian but via Mindfulness ‘we can have a glimpse of the treasure hidden in the field, the pearl of great price.’ -- Christine King, Progressive Voices, Dec 2019, PV31
'Peter Tyler sets the standard for any book intended for the beginning or more advanced reader seeking an understanding of the traditions, theology, psychology, scripture, and prayerful and attentive practice of Christian mindfulness. Within Tyler's book one finds the "mind" and "heart" of Christian mindfulness in the contemporary world. It is an excellent, highly recommended book, one of both scholarship and wisdom.' -- Steven Chase * Spiritus: A Journal of Christian Spirituality, Vol 19, No.2, Fall 2019 *
