“I believe is a rare gem among spiritual writings. A very readable book.”- Sister Helen Prejean, CSJ, Author, Dead Man Walking Through images of transformation and the practice of centering prayer Jens Soering tells his own intriguing story. “Following the journey of this prisoner from chains to inner freedom, the reader is inspired, engaged, and called to take one’s own inner journey from the prison of one’s own making to spiritual freedom. Through a moving true story of personal redemption that shocks and inspires, Soering shows how we can all transform our crosses, our prisons (literal or metaphorical), into the means of our salvation. In this remarkable book, Jens Soering, an inmate in a Virginia prison, tells how centering prayer and its corollary, centering practice-contemplative prayer in action-enable him to survive the daily pain of prison life. Centering prayer is a modern adaptation of the ancient practice of contemplative prayer, a process of inner purification and an opening of the mind and heart to God.
