The subtitle - "silence, awareness, and contemplation" - summarizes the focus of this magnificent book perfectly. I've been practicing centering prayer daily for the past six months (after a long hiatus), and Laird's insights have helped me immensely to see beneath (beyond? through?) the basic practice of "when thoughts arise, simply return to your sacred word." No New Age-y book, this work contains dozens and dozens of footnoted quotes from traditional contemplative masters such as St. Teresa of Avila, St. John of the Cross, St. Augustine, and the author of The Cloud of Unknowing. You'll also likely be introduced to lesser-known fathers such as Evagrius the Solitary (4th Century).

Gently insightful, quiet in tone, thoroughly researched, this book takes readers still further into silence, awareness and contemplation than the preceding book, "Into the Silent Land". Anecdotes from modern day experience, the wisdom of desert and church fathers, saints, poetry, art and novels are all gathered in support and illustration of the book's themes. They are used in such a way that the reader wants to go back to the original texts, so I refreshed myself with Seamus Heaney's poetry, picked up the writings of Evagrius for the first time and resolved to return to St. Teresa of Avila. Contemplation informs every part of life, so it is fitting that every part of life should meet with contemplation in this book.I was grateful that the difficulties of contemplation were investigated at some depth. Some points of practice about which I was unsure after reading "Into the Silent Land" became much clearer for me, producing shifts and growth that were palpable in my own life. "A Sunlit Absence" is best read after "Into the Silent Land" because there is a clear development and deepening from one text to the next. I shall read this book much more than once.

I found this book to be an excellent follow-up to his first book on the subject of contemplation. Even though I lived as a cloistered contemplative monk for many years & have read a great deal on this topic & have given many contemplative retreats, I still found this book to be very insightful, with many quotes from teachers in this tradition as well as a very unique & beautiful way of presenting. A very clear, concise & poetic presentation. I highly recommend this book along with its companion book.Rev. Robert J. Powell

Martin Laird rocks! Whether you have been a practitioner of contemplative prayer for along time or are a neophyte it is obvious that Fr. Laird knows the land. His insights are well grounded, reassuring, and oft enlightening in their own right. The "A Sunlit Absence" arrived in a most timely fashion and was as spiffy as the merchant promised. Shopping doesn't get much better than this ! Except maybe if you have Prime!

This is a richly and wisely informed exploration of the value and place that "awareness" has in the practice of Contemplative Prayer. Awareness is shown to have an honored place in wisdom tradition of the Desert Fathers and Mothers of the early Early Christian Movement. Yet, this seems to be a neglected aspect of the modern enthusiasm for Centering Prayer. Martin Laird, a historical theological, redresses this neglect in a work that has significant relevance for those of us moderns who struggle to break free from the tyranny of thoughts and feelings..

I loved this book by Fr. Martin. In it, he describes the 2 dynamics of contemplative practice as both deepening concentration and expanding awareness. The title of the book really does say it all as he probes our experience of the Silence and it's relationship to true awareness in everyday life experiences. I'd always wondered about my own internal commentary and he speaks much about the difference between thoughts which ebb and flow through the mind and the incessant commentary that has a tendency to become attached and which then leads us into all kinds of "reactionary" ways of being.I appreciate his wonderful insight and find myself returning to the book for meditation on particularly meaningful passages.

This is a good companion to Martin Laird's other work, "Into the Silent Land" which focus more on the basics of how to enter into contemplative prayer. "A Sunlit Absence" looks at various aspects of the practice, especially with an eye to seeing where problems and barriers develop and how to overcome them. His examples from teaching contemplation to college students of various levels of faith development was both interesting and enlightening. A good book to take along with you for a retreat and read a chapter at a time over a couple days.

I have read both of Fr. Laird's books on Contemplative Prayer and both are excellent as far as his teaching as well as inspiration regarding this important gift of Christian Meditation. I have read this one twice and will read it again as time allows. Highly recommended for those seeking to understand and grow in their practice of contemplative prayer and living.
