I just recently finished reading a book by Ray Yungen called, A Time of Departing. A very readable, engaging book I found hard to put down, full of important and useful information regarding Contemplative Prayer (CP); it was also rather heart breaking as I've read that this practice is being endorsed by stalwart defenders of the faith, and reputable Bible teachers and pastors.
UPDATE: 9/24/12 From AMOS 3:7 Ministries:
This report details the teachings and beliefs of Dallas Willard, a proponent of spiritual formation and contemplative prayer as prolific and well known among the practitioners of these mystic exercises as Richard Foster and Henri Nouwen! ~~end of update.
