Description: In a day when Christians are faced with much confusion concerning methods of meditation, such as transcendental mediation (TM), this is an invaluable how to do it book which also puts meditation in perspective for the Christian. The author describes the similarity between current forms of meditation and traditional Christan mysticism. Recognizing the value in the different Oriental techniques of meditation, she briefly describes these, demonstrating how they can be used in Christian meditation. However, she emphasizes that Christians will get maximum help from meditation by enclosing it in a devotional framework. Because group meditation is important for the sharing and encouragement of the individual meditator and as an opportunity for teaching meditation, the author, includes instruction on how to set up a meditation group in your church. She also includes two sections on aids to meditation: Goals in Christian Growth, inspirational reading to be used with meditation, and Guided Meditations. Fay Conlee Olivers was the Director of the Weekday Christian Education program of the Berkeley Albany Council of Churches in Berkeley, California. She was also a teacher in secondary schools in Mississippi, Colorado, New Mexico, and California for several years. She received her B.A. degree from Millsaps College and her M.A. degree from the Berkeley Baptists Divinity School.
