book review: fire within [by thomas dubay]

title: Fire Within
author: Thomas Dubay, SM
circle: Prayer/Spirituality
publisher: Ignatius Press

Many devout people use the word contemplation. Unfortunately, few of them actually know what they are talking about. What is contemplation and why are we all called to it? How do we achieve it? Fire Within answers these questions, and thus acts as a clear guide to real progress in prayer.

Fr. Thomas Dubay has done a magnicent job putting together a synthesis on prayer. Drawing from his extensive study and experience on the eld, his single-volume work brings together Scripture, Church Teachings and the guidance of two of the Church’s universal doctors--St. Teresa of Avila & St. John of the Cross--in a way that can be understood by all walks of life.

In a time when this essential aspect of our faith is often ignored and misunderstood, Fire Within proves to be a vital volume for all of us to read, understand and apply in our lives. Its message is fundamental--every Christian is called to the heights of contemplation. This book is highly recommended.
