The literature of prayer has an old and rich tradition, but Donald Spoto�s extraordinary new work of scholarship and devotion may be the first book to explore not only what prayer says about God but what it reveals about us and the universal experiences that have moved us to call on God throughout the ages. Drawing on the words of religious thinkers of both East and West, from the author of Psalms to Rumi and from Teresa of �vila to Ch�gyam Trungpa, In Silence explores the nature, quality, history, and effects of prayer: as petition, as forgiveness, as cry of suffering, as abandonment, as serenity, as loving, as silence. Erudite, beautifully written, and filled with wonder, this is a ringing celebration of our most precious habit of being.
