Armchair Mystic: Easing Into Contemplative Prayer
I'm a Presbyterian minister, and Thibodeaux is a Catholic priest, but I found Armchair Mystic to be an outstanding introduction to the actual process of contemplative prayer. Many of the classics on the spiritual life offer outstanding analogies on the process of spiritual growth, but Thibodeaux's particular gift is in giving you tools on HOW to do it. His comparison of the stages of his relationship to God with the relationship with his elderly Aunt is worth the price of the book. Again, Thibodeaux is Catholic, and he hews to a strict 'denominational' line in his analogies and his bibliography. Yet in my opinion, most Protestants interested in contemplative prayer could benefit from Armchair Mystic.
