Solitude Improved: understanding the spiritual discipline of meditation

“Meditation stands between the two ordinances of reading and praying, as the grand improver of the former, and the high quickener of the latter, to furnish the mind with choice materials for prayer, and to fill the heart with holy fervency in it.” - Ben Ciavolella looks at Nathanael Ranew (d. 1677)

Discussion

I read Ranew’s book on the flight from England to the US when I came to live here in 1996. A great book.
