The Way of the Prisoner: Breaking the Chains of Self Through Centering Prayer and Centering Practice: Breaking the Chains of Self Through Centering Prayer and Practice

by Jens Soering

"His experiences ... reveal some amazing ways that God�s Spirit can break through the fear, violence, and despair of prison life. Along with these benefits, you will be exposed to the electrifying story of a very articulate, impassioned person writing from his prison cell, as other Christian spiritual writers beginning with St. Paul have done through the centuries." (Tilden Edwards, from the foreword)

In this remarkable book, Jens Söring, a convict serving two life sentences in a Virginia prison, uses Centering Prayer and Centering Practice to survive the daily misery of prison life�and shows how we can all transform our crosses, our prisons (literal or metaphorical), into the means of our salvation. It is both a learned work on contemplative prayer and a moving true story of personal redemption that shocks and inspires.
