Overview

True meditation is not emptying the mind, but filling it. And everyone meditates on something. The Puritans viewed meditation as essential for spiritual growth and effectiveness in spiritual duties--a crucial link between hearing, believing, and living God's Word.

Instructing us in occasional meditation and set meditation, this modernized version of Thomas Manton's work on a crucial spiritual discipline helps believers discover the transformative effect of biblical meditation on the mind and heart.
