Discovering the Center presents a close-up view of a highly trained surgeon whose organized professional and private life is interrupted by a startling, totally unexpected spiritual experience, by the doctor's stunned struggle to understand it, and by the profound changes it brings to his relationships with patients, family and ordinary people.  This spiritual experience convinces him that contemplation, recognized by all major world religions, is vital in a time of crisis in the church and the world.
