Book Description
We often promise ourselves to pray more one of these days-when I complete this project, when the kids go to college, when I retire ... when life settles down. And guilt haunts us when we wonder why praying seems difficult and unfulfilling. Longtime spiritual director Linda Douty has heard many people express frustrations with their prayer life. She's been stuck and puzzled about prayer herself. And that's good news! As Linda says, ôIf we're never led to be uncomfortable with the status quo, we will never change anything. God is always in the business of inviting us to deeper growth.öShe helps us look at prayer from a new perspective: Linda offers creative and meaningful ways to connect with God in the midst of daily life, gathered into 7 clusters. She provides guidelines for using the book with a small group and a retreat plan. Praying with the Body Praying with the Breath Praying with the Mind Praying with the Senses Praying with the Silence Praying with the Surroundings Praying with the Circumstances Book jacket.
