Description
At times prayer can seem like hard work or a bit of a mystery. At other times, it's an encounter with the Living God. Wherever you are on the journey of faith, Life Source will encourage a discovery of new-found joy and delight in prayer for novices and old hands alike.
Ideal for Lent, cell or house groups, the course combines Bible study and discussion with a creative, hands-on exploration of five prayer patterns drawn from Christianity's rich heritage. The interactive sessions explore:
Source of life - prayer as relationship
Source of joy - prayer as enjoying God
Source of light - prayer as listening
Source of wholeness - prayer as honesty
Source of love - prayer as care
Each session contains enough material for 90 minutes and includes:
Guidelines for group study, with full background notes for leaders
Interactive activities
Questions for discussion
Multi-media ideas e.g. film and music
Resources for worship
Each group member will need a copy of the book.
