My book on meditation is available on Amazon.

In 2020 I published my first book. The title is Jesus and Buddha Meet in Stillness: A Beginner’s Guide to Mindfulness Meditation and Contemplative Prayer. It is the fruit of my exploration of meditation these past several years in both the Buddhist and Christian contemplative traditions. I invite you to check it out. The book is available on amazon.com in both paperback and Kindle formats.
