Sacred Reading: The Ancient Art of Lectio Divina Book

I picked up a copy at a short conference on Lectio Divina at St. Mary's Monastery in Petersham, MA. This is a book I will turn to again and again for the rest of my life.

First of all, it's an excellent introduction to the practice of Lectio Divina. But what I found really remarkable about it was the depth and wisdom of the author coming through, almost leaping, off the page. I'm not accustomed to being around older, spiritually mature men and women of faith and Michael Casey's ability to situate the practice of Lectio Divina in an ecclesiastical, spiritual, and theological context is the sort of reading that fills that void.
