Drawing on the religions of Orthodox Jews, African-American Baptists, Catholics, and Buddhists, a theologian offers readers inspiring ideas for adding prayer to their daily lives, accompanied by ways to use music, meditation, and icons in prayer. 20,000 first printing.
Great book that goes through all of the different ways to pray. For each method, the history is explored as well as modern day practice, and how-to guides if you want to try it yourself.
I loved the information in the book and the clear and helpful way it was presented. But...the book was very wordy. I felt like I had to wade my way through the text.
I will be looking for a copy to purchase to keep on my bookshelf as a reference
This is a great resource for individual or group study. I especially liked the diverse prayer traditions that were explored by the author. I read this while participating in an online retreat by the author.
