{"product_id":"2000003479795","title":"Contemplative Prayer: Traditional Christian Meditations for Opening to Divine Union","description":"In the darkest hour of the darkest age, Christian monks developed a meditation tradition unique in the Western world. A 14th-century author described their profound mystical experience as entering “the cloud of unknowing.” Yet during the 500 years after this great monastic flowering, this precious tradition – and the direct path to union with God it described – was virtually lost. For decades, Father Thomas Keating, together with other monks, examined this great question: could anyone enter “the cloud of unknowing” through a prayer practice specifically created to attain it? On The Contemplative Journey, Father Keating shares the authentic tradition of Christian contemplation that emerged from his spiritual search.","brand":"Sounds True, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47093122531568,"sku":"2000003479795","price":17.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2000003479795_p0.jpg?v=1763537496","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2000003479795","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
