The Way of Prayer Participant's Book

The Way of Prayer is a ten-week resource designed to help people expand their understanding of the nature and practice of prayer. Many Christians grow up with a limited vision of what prayer is and how to pray. The Way of Prayer offers many forms to explore and practice, both individually and as a group. People with different temperaments, spiritual types, and learning styles will find expressions of prayer that draw them closer to God. They will also learn to integrate body, mind, and spirit in prayer and to live a more creative rhythm between the inner life and the outward journey of service. This resource can help bring greater scope and vitality into the prayer life of your congregation. Topics include: How do you Pray?, Images of God, Praying by Heart, Praying with Music, Praying by Gaze, Praying with our Bodies, Scriptural Prayer, Contemplative Prayer, Praying with and for Others, Prayer and Social Transformation.
