Editorial : "Patricia D. Brown writes about prayer with sensitivity, depth and comprehensiveness. Most of all, she shares out of her considerable experience, which balances her study of various forms of relating to the Divine."

Brown tutors us in the spiritual art of prayer. Gentle, practical, and wise— what a wonderful invitation to the spiritual journey. I can't recommend this book highly enough."

With step-by-step instructions for over forty ways to pray, this valuable guide contains a wealth of timeless spiritual prayer practices that Christians have used over the last 2000 years from cultures around the world. Among the prayer practices you'll encounter in this book are the daily office, the prayer shawl, praying with icons, centering prayer, fasting, prayer beads, walking a labyrinth, pilgrimage, anointing for healing, and praying the scriptures. Paths to Prayer offers a whole-person approach to prayer that takes into account each person's individuality and doesn't assume we all relate to God in the same way. A prayer styles self-assessment will help you reflect on your life, your preferences, and your unique way of interacting with the world. Try new dimensions of praying— innovative, searching, relational, and experiential— to deepen your encounter with the divine.

With baptism and our faith we are always in motion and at the beginning! Ph. And the series is far from over. It makes learning sight words much more fun for kids to learn.. In a broader sense, I'd say this is an interesting study of how a calculated marital arrangement might take time to get going, but may well develop into something rich and powerful. Bought this book for my train-loving husband. Couple these thought provoking moments with some well crafted action, in-depth world building, and interesting characters, and the end result is an excellent debut novel from an exciting new author. The only reason this gets 4 stars instead of 5 is Leary's tendency towards academic jargon (terms like "syncretic"). Just google the name of the book with its authors.. The book, how should I say, is somewhat 'paradoxical' to me. Turing's Cathedral: The Origins of the Digital Universe by George Dyson
