Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Listening to 'Ways of Prayer' is like having a conversation with two of the greatest spiritual minds in history. Merton's narration is warm and inviting, while Ciorra's voice brings a sense of reverence to Cassian's words. The pacing is steady, allowing time to absorb each insight. However, at times, the dense theological discussions can feel a bit dry. But Merton's ability to distill complex ideas into simple, profound truths makes it worthwhile. I found myself repeatedly pausing to reflect on the depth of wisdom shared. Overall, this audiobook is a treasure trove of spiritual guidance, making it an excellent choice for those seeking to deepen their understanding of Christian spirituality.
