"Jeanie Miley has removed the mystification from the life of meditation, and at the same time, enhanced our sense of awe, exaltation and joy that comes from centering our attention on the person of Christ in action. She has written of a meditative life that is not too esoteric or far-fetched for our everyday life. She skillfully takes very mundane events and suddenly they are aglow with the quiet presence of Christ."
