Book Description
Prayer is a vital part of the Christian life but people often struggle with actually getting on and doing it. This book offers 80 imaginative and creative ideas for setting up 'prayer stations', practical ways of praying that involve the senses - touching, tasting, smelling, seeing, and hearing, rather than simply reflecting, as we bring our hopes, fears, dreams and doubts to God. Developed from material tried and tested with small groups, the ideas here provide activities ranging from bubble prayers to clay pot prayers (via just about everything else in between), and have been designed to be used with grown-ups - of all ages!

Book Description
What does prayer smell like? One year of Bible study. One summer of Bible teaching. One book: "The Sensational Scent of Prayer." Each step brought the familiar sights and sounds closer. The annual trek to the tabernacle was one dreaded by Hannah. The trip only meant more of the teasing and taunting; when would it ever end? As the smell of the constant, burning incense of tabernacle lamps became stronger and stronger, Hannah's broken spirit poured out words of desperation. Anguish flooded her body, disabling her voice. The tabernacle's perfumes waft higher into the air and Hannah's prayers trailed just behind them, soaring to the heavens, rousing the attention of her heavenly Father... The One Who loves: The Sensational Scent of Prayer.
