A Grateful Heart with Brother David Steindl-Rast

Product Description

Gratefulness is the key, says this extraordinary Benedictine monk, to fullness of life, true prayer and effective action in the world. “If you practice gratefulness,” he says, “it leads you into all the attitudes that all the great traditions have promoted.” Brother David tells of his own personal search, from a childhood in Nazi-occupied Austria to his explorations of Buddhism, modern physics and meaning in modern Christianity. “Most of our day is gift after gift,” he has discovered, “if we wake up to it.”

Brother David Steindl-Rast is the author of Gratefulness: The Heart of Prayer; (Paulist Press 1990), A Listening Heart (Crossroad 1999), The Music of Silence (Ulysses Press 2001) and Words of Common Sense for Mind Body and Soul (Templeton Foundation Press 2002).
