Riassunto

James Bishop was convicted and sent to prison for serious offences. With plenty of time on his hands, he rediscovered profound and effective techniques for meditation, through the help of the World Community for Christian Meditation, which does much prison work around the world. He then turned to the Rule of St Benedict and found in it a model and pattern of living which gave him balance and stability and helped to cure his own emotional disorders.

This book is aimed at all those who are imprisoned in the modern world - not just prison inmates but all those battling with personal, emotional and psychological difficulties.

Recensione:

Featured in the new titles just published section in the Church Times. --Church Times

I would commend James Bishop's book to every Companion CR and any who seek to deepen their Christian commitment through the discipline of the daily office and to what Benedict refers to as 'the conversion of life'. --Journal of the Community of the Resurrection, Number 438

L'autore:

James Bishop was raised Catholic, but even in adolescence studied other religious beliefs, concentrating on meditation. While battling alcoholism and obsessive-compulsive disorder in prison, he was reintroduced to meditation through the World Community for Christian Meditation. He is now a free man, both physically and spiritually.
