Cynthia Bourgeault has studied and taught in a number of Benedictine monasteries in the United States and Canada. An Episcopal priest, she is well known as a retreat and conference leader, teacher of prayer, and writer on the spiritual life. She is the author of a number of books, including Mystical Hope.
It is amazing how confirming, clarifying, and encouraging Cynthia Bourgeault's teaching is. Probably the best on practical prayer I have ever read.
— Richard Rohr, OFM, author of Everything Belongs
This book will be inspiring, clear, and helpful to those who look well into it.
— Review For Religious
Every page of this book contains profound but accessible spiritual teaching and wisdom for living.
— The Anglican Journal
Centering Prayer and Inner Awakening is a superb book, a wonderfully accessible introduction to Centering Prayer and the role it can play in your own ‘salvation unto eternity.’ Highly recommended for all who are on a spiritual path of any sort.
— Ken Wilber, author of The Eye of Spirit
Bourgeault’s prophetic voice points the way to restore harmony, dignity, and depth to our lived Christian community.
— The Anglican Journal
Cynthia Bourgeault's book is a must-read. . . . Her simple and clear explanations of the contemplative process so apparently based in her own experience re-ignited my own yearning to live a deeply God-centered life and renewed my commitment to the practice.
— Anne Simpkinson, co-author, Soul Work: A Field Guide for Spiritual Seekers
