Creating a Life with God: The Call of Ancient Prayer Practices
What is prayer meant to be? Speaking words already prepared on a service sheet, a brief hasty request when life presses in or saying your amen to someone else’s words. But is that all there is? Shouldn’t prayer be more… far more?
To help you discover that more, Daniel Wolpert invites you discover contemplative prayer through exploring twelve ancient prayer practices that have been observed since records of human’s search for God begun—a search to see God, to hear God, to provide a sense of the other in the daily human grind enabling a loving revolution in everyday relationships.
The prayer practices which include the Jesus Prayer, apophatic prayer, lectio divina, body prayer, walking towards God, the Examen, journalling, and praying in nature are explored with the help of travelling companions which include Ignatius Loyola, Julian of Norwich,Francis of Assisi and the anonymous author of The Way of a Pilgrim.
The journey to discover the true depth of prayer is not an instant one, warns Daniel, but it is a journey of extreme importance for all who truly
want to reach out and find God.
Creating a Life with God also includes a step-by-step guide to the prayer practices and
a model timetable for planning a Quiet Day or
retreat using the book.
