He founded a community of lay people who shared his vision and from this small beginning has grown. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe World Community for Christian Meditation which today is active in numerous countries around the world and has thousands of members and associates. Its work, and its emphasis on meditation, derives directly from the Benedictine focus on prayer and lectio divina or holy reading. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRight up to the end of his life in 1982, John Main wrote a series of remarkable letters of spiritual direction to WCCM's growing family. Two collections have previously been published and are now out of print and the complete letters are now published in this single volume. Together they constitute a volume of remarkable spiritual wisdom and insight, as fresh and relevant for today as when they were first written.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Canterbury Press Norwich\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/06\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781848257085\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 266\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Laurence Freeman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36669726785692,"sku":"9781848257085","price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_93f4fd32-f2db-4e51-8cd0-2f5ede87a761.jpg?v=1603920890","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/monastery-without-walls-the-spiritual-letters-of-john-main-9781848257085","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
