Discover the beauty of contemplative prayer and the mystery of divine intimacy.

In Hidden Mountain, Secret Garden, theologian Anthony Lilles guides readers into the heart of Christian prayer — that sacred space where the soul encounters the living God. Drawing deeply from Scripture, the Carmelite tradition, and the wisdom of the saints, Lilles unveils the interior journey toward union with Christ that unfolds within every believer.

Through accessible yet profound reflections, this book explores the hidden “mountain” of divine ascent and the “secret garden” of the soul — a poetic image of prayer’s transformative power. Readers will find gentle encouragement to cultivate silence, surrender, and trust in God’s love while learning how authentic contemplation flows from daily life and the sacraments.

Inside you’ll discover:

• The meaning and stages of contemplative prayer

• Insights from St. Teresa of Avila, St. John of the Cross, and other mystics

• Guidance for growing in humility, faith, and spiritual maturity

• How prayer becomes the meeting place between human longing and divine love

A rich spiritual companion for anyone yearning to deepen their prayer life, Hidden Mountain, Secret Garden is ideal for personal reflection, parish study, or spiritual direction.
