The Beyond Within: Initiation Into Christian Meditation

by Alphonse Goettmann

The Beyond Within is a powerful expression of authentic Christian mysticism and a guide to Christian meditation as it was understood in the early centuries of the faith -- becoming transparent to the Divine, to a God who is "not in another world... but in our very heart." Combining practical step-by-step methods of meditation with insights into the essence of the Christian mystery, this book offers a holistic understanding of the transforming power of meditation for a new generation of spiritual seekers.

Stretching for a white European's world view on Eastern Christianity and it's practices but found it rewarding. I struggled theologically through some parts. I only managed to read a few chapters here and there over a few months so wouldn't call it 'engaging' but it is interesting and added breadth to my walk.
