About this listen

David Frenette’s book The Path of Centering Prayer reenergized the Centering Prayer tradition with its fresh insights and teachings. This companion audio program - created to be equally rewarding as a stand-alone guide - gives listeners an immersive resource to learn contemplative prayer, step by step and in the moment. With clarity and compassionate presence, Frenette explains the essential principles of this contemplative practice for both new and seasoned practitioners, and then guides us experientially through core prayers and meditations including:

  • Giving God Consent to Act in You
  • Opening and Recognizing
  • Simplicity and Awakening
  • Gentleness and Effortlessness
  • Letting Go and Letting Be
  • Resting and Being
  • Embracing and Being Embraced
  • Integrating and Emerging

For Christians and meditators of all traditions drawn to silent communion with the Divine, Centering Prayer Meditations will enrich the experience of anyone interested in this revered contemplative path.

I was very pleased with this book. it helped with learning to meditate, and the voice of David Generate is like velvet which makes listening really lovely.
Great book.

Cantering prayer

The whole audio was perfect in cadence to suit the topic. The guided meditations were also well considered, with enough time given for practice, and importantly, permission to get it wrong. I have learned a great deal from this book and will certainly return to deepen my practice.

Perfectly peaceful and beautifully read

Really, really good.Gentle voice, true to Thomas Keating's approach, an experienced and nuanced meditator, teacher, pray-er, such depth of truth that feels Spirit-inspired.Practical, it takes you into what you so want to know, and then realise you don't need anything, all is Gift, you are already there.

Deep and deeper

If you are looking for a meditation based on Christian tradition this is for you. Contemplation is a prayer without words. It is about letting God to guide us and let it be in our life. This book will give you a lot of peace in you mind.

A very special audio book

ARRGGGHHHHH!!!!! Why do so many authors insist on reading their own books. This guy sounds like a woman in a mid-life crisis who has decided to become a yoga instructor and says she’s become “spiritual”, which really means she’s filled her house will Buddhist statues and Hindu imagery because she thinks they’re pretty.the voice becomes forced and put on for effect. He needs to remember that God called HIM to this topic, not the flimsy fake voiced man he becomes when reading this book, he tries to add effect, but God has said HE is enough, otherwise he would have called a man with a passionate soft fake voice to write this book instead. So, the big question is; has he actually been called to write this book? (If not, you shouldn’t read it.) Or, is he lacking the faith to trust that God called HIM, as he is, to write this book? Because there is no way that this is the natural way he talks and the book has become unlistenable.
I wanted a book on centred prayer because the topic is awesome and something I wanted to develop in my own life. But the author is an appalling narrator. He is deliberately trying to make his voice softer, in an attempt to be soothing and relaxing, but it’s soooo poor, I doubt I’ll get any further into the book. If we’ve bought the book, it’s to learn how to do centred prayer and the theology behind it. He seems to think that we will be active in centred prayer as reading this, but that’s a complete paradox, as centred prayer needs to be free from distractions. As such, I give this book a big thumbs down and suggest you look for something else. I’m really sad about this too as it’s a book which should be growing our spiritual relationship with God, yet instead seems to feed the authors ego. Bye!

Some authors weren’t born to be narrators
