Thomas Keating (1923. – 2019.) trapistički je redovnik, mistički teolog, poznati duhovni učitelj i pisac. Osnivač je metode molitve sabranosti (centering prayer) utemeljene na kršćanskoj kontemplativnoj tradiciji koja, zajedno s kontemplativnim tečajem i vodstvom, čini temelj mreže kontemplativnih zajednica u SAD-u i cijelom svijetu (Contemplative Outreach). Osnivač je i međureligijskog, ekumenskoga centra u Snowmassu, u američkoj saveznoj državi Colorado (Monastic Interreligious Dialogue), kao dijela trapističkoga samostana sv. Benedikta u kojemu je živio posljednjih četrdeset godina svojega života.

Bliskost s Bogom knjiga je koja zaokružuje čuvenu trilogiju oca Thomasa Keatinga (koju čine Otvorena svijest, otvoreno srce, Poziv na ljubav i Kristovo otajstvo). Ona je upućena svima, a osobito kršćanima, koji traže istinski i cjeloviti duhovni put i život. U njoj otac Keating pokazuje smjer kojim uz ustrajnost i posvećenost postepeno možemo doći bliže božanskom životu koji je u nama. I na pristupačan i čitak način, s mnoštvom dubokih uvida i praktičnih savjeta, približava nam skrivenu mudrost o načinu na koji molitva sabranosti može produbiti našu bliskost s Bogom.
“Tišina je bila prva Božja riječ, a sve ostalo su njezini loši prijevodi.”

Cynthia Bourgeault, Centering Prayer and Inner Awakening
Synopsis, Zagreb, 2019.
Centering Prayer and Inner Awakening is intended as a complete guidebook for all who wish to know the practice better. I hope this book will encourage and extend the dialogue within the Church and with all who practice other forms of spirituality. But more important, I hope it will get you up and running in the practice itself; or, if you are already practicing, that it will widen your understanding of the prayer's theological and spiritual context and provide additional food for your own journey.

Willigis Jäger, On Love and Eternal Life
Synopsis, Zagreb, 2017.
Willigis Jäger hopes that reading this book will awaken in us a new understanding that cannot be conveyed by words, an understanding that will awake, because it already abides within us, a mystical understanding.
Those who have the courage to embark on a journey of change will be richly rewarded by this book, and "will be present in the now", at the turning point – where the change happens.
From the foreword by Brother David Steindl-Rast.

RICHARD ROHR,The Naked Now: Learning To See As the Mystics See
Synopsis, Zagreb, 2016.
What we enjoy now and the hope I wish to offer in this book is the renaissance of the contemplative mind, the only truly unique alternative that religion has to offer to the world. Without this new mind, most doctrines, moral regulations, dogmas, and ecclesiastical structures will almost certainly be misunderstood and misused.
A naked, undefended and nondual presence is best suited to meet the Real Presence. This is life in the naked now, in the "sacrament of the present moment" that will teach us how to truly taste our experiences, whether good, bad or ugly, and how to allow them to transform us.
When you are really present, you will experience the Real Presence for yourself.

JIM MARION, Putting On the Mind of Christ: The Inner Work of Christian Spirituality
Synopsis, Zagreb, 2016.
What does following the path and teachings of Jesus from Nazareth mean to us today?
Putting On the Mind of Christ: The Inner Work of Christian Spirituality shows that the complete spiritual path that leads to the highest levels of consciousness – Christ’s and nondual consciousness that Jesus called the Kingdom of Heaven – has always been the true core of Jesus' messages.
From his personal experience, and the mystic experiences of 2000 years of Christian spirituality, as well as other spiritual traditions and scientific achievements of modern psychology, Jim Marion leads us along the way of the development of consciousness, up to the moment when, together with St Paul, we can say that "we had put on the mind of Christ", that we have Christ’s consciousness.
Putting On the Mind of Christ: The Inner Work of Christian Spirituality is probably the first book to describe the whole path of development of consciousness from the Christian perspective. As such, it is a remarkable and amazing achievement. KEN WILBER

Willigis Jäger, Contemplation: A Christian Path
Synopsis, Zagreb, 2015.
In his Mysticism for Modern Times Willigis Jäger has, in a comprehensible and clear language, laid out the essence of a mystical view of the world. Contemplation: A Christian Path will serve, as a faithful companion and counsellor, to everyone who decides to embark on, or is already on the contemplation path, especially when met with difficulties on the journey.
Willigis Jäger is one of the most prominent mystics and teachers of mystical spirituality of our time, who often speaks of restoring the Christian contemplative tradition as a realization of his lifelong dream. The tradition is fulfilled in the balance of knowledge and faith, in the mystical experience, in which resurrection and salvation occur here-and-now as awakening to our true, Divine nature at every moment of life.

Willigis Jäger, Mysticism for Modern Times
Synopsis, Zagreb, 2014.
Mysticism for Modern Times is a concise and clear account of Willigis Jäger's teachings and spirituality. Eight chapters in the form of a dialogue with the prominent German philosopher Christoph Quarch, discuss the most important themes of a contemporary approach to the theory and practice of contemplative, mystical spirituality.
Using lively language and very bold theses, the author seeks to point to the path of overcoming the fundamental divide – the separation of God and the world – introduced by contemporary interpretations of religion, especially Christianity, and prepare us for a new understanding in which theology and mysticism, i.e. faith and mystical experience, are in balance, in which resurrection and salvation occur here-an-now as awakening to our true, Divine nature at every moment of life.

Thomas Keating, Intimacy with God
Synopsis, 2011.
Intimacy with God ends the famous trilogy of Fr. Thomas Keating (Open Mind, Open Heart and Invitation to Love). It is intended for all who seek a truly spiritual way and life. In it, the author points to a direction that, if we follow it with persistence and devotion, can gradually get us closer to the Divine life in us. In a popular and readable way, with deep insights and practical advice, Thomas Keating charts the course to the hidden wisdom on the way cantering prayer can deepen our intimacy with God.
Thomas Keating (1923-2018) was a Trapist monk, a mystical theologian, a well-known spiritual teacher and writer. He is the founder of the Contemplative Outreach, a contemplative course based on the Christian contemplative tradition and the interreligious, ecumenical centre in Snowmass (Monastic Interreligious Dialogue). He died in October 2018, among his friends at St. Joseph’s Abbey in Spencer, Mass., where he had once been an abbot.
