Book Description
In theory, prayer sounds great. It moves mountains and opens doors and changes the world. In practice? Well, a lot of us have never stuck with it long enough to find out. We forget to pray. We wonder if we're doing it right. We get distracted. We're not sure how to break the 4-minute mark (what else is there to say?). Mostly, we just say thank you, ask for stuff, and hope for the best. There's a better way. This workbook is built on a novel idea: that the best way to learn to pray is to pray. In these pages, J.L. Gerhardt walks you through some straightforward ways to make prayer a habit, leading you in new (and sometimes very old) ways of praying. Her hope is to light a fire in you for prayer AND provide the skills you need to keep the fire burning. Each book also includes a Group Discussion guide to help you lead others through the journey of practicing prayer. --------------------- CHAPTERS: 1: Just Do It Because if you want to pray more you're gonna have to pray more 2: Jumping Hurdles How to get past what's keeping you away 3: How to Pray In 60 Seconds or Less A lesson on prayer from a bonafide expert 4: Thanks.

Prayer: Forty Days of Practice
Author: Justin McRoberts
Publisher: WaterBrook
ISBN: 0525653058
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 130
Book Description
A simple yet profound guide to facilitate the instinctively human desire to pray. We pray because we are human, not because we are religious. Something in our nature points beyond itself; something in us searches for and desires personal connection with God. Although communicating with our Creator through prayer is innate, the effective practice of it often feels just beyond our reach. This unique book guides you to pray in deeper and more authentic ways. The short prayers and thought-provoking imagery, interspersed with contemplative reflections and suggested practices, will stir, inform, and encourage you. The simplicity of the prayers and the aesthetic appeal of the images will inspire people in every facet of life, including those with no real religious background at all.

In Constant Prayer
Author: Robert Benson
Publisher: Thomas Nelson
ISBN: 1418567965
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 177
Book Description
What does it mean to pray without ceasing? Is it really that important to pray as the early Church did? In this installment of The Ancient Practices series, Robert Benson presents a structure for our lives where we can live in continued awareness of God’s presence and reality. A pattern for worship and prayer that is offered to God at specific times throughout the day, the daily office is meant to be prayed by all the faithful so the Church may be continuous and God’s work in this world may be sustained. Yet it is highly personal too—an anchor between the daily and the divine, the mundane and the marvelous. Says author Robert Benson, “At some point, high-minded discussion about our life of prayer has to work its way into the dailyness of our lives. At some point, we have to move from talking about prayer to saying our prayers so that the marvelous that is possible has a chance to appear.” In Constant Prayer is your gateway to deeper communion with God. Expect something new to unfold before you and within you while heeding this ancient call. The Ancient Practices There is a hunger in every human heart for connection, primitive and raw, to God. To satisfy it, many are beginning to explore traditional spiritual disciplines used for centuries . . . everything from fixed-hour prayer to fasting to sincere observance of the Sabbath. Compelling and readable, the Ancient Practices series is for every spiritual sojourner, for every Christian seeker who wants more.

Prayer
Author: Justin McRoberts
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780692609927
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 114
Book Description
We believe we pray because we are human, not because we are religious. Religious tradition can and often does provide language, shape and space for prayer, but the primal instinct to pray does not emanate from or begin with religion. Instead, something in our nature points beyond itself; something in us searches for and appeals to The Divine. We wrote this book to help you find language, shape and space for the basic, human, spiritual and beautiful need to pray. Yet, as natural as prayer is, the practice of it often seems to take place behind closed doors in exclusive clubs with language and imagery exclusive to that club. We have created a work that provides language and imagery accessible to people from a multitude of religious backgrounds as well as for those with no real religious background at all. - Justin McRoberts has written 40 guided prayers. - Scott Erickson has paired each prayer with beautiful, contemplative imagery. - Each of the book's seven sections is capped by reflections on the practice of prayer and each of those reflections points toward specific, suggested practices.
