Are you longing for an intentional relationship with God?
Do you struggle with wandering thoughts while praying?
Is silence hard for you?
When biblical scholar and coach Brian Russell discovered centering prayer at a difficult crossroad in his life, he had no idea how his life would change. " Sensing God's love for me has been so transformational that it almost feels as though I've experienced conversion all over again," he writes. He became calmer, less anxious, less reactive, freed of past wounds, and a better listener in the presence of others.

This inviting guide gives you practical tools to make centering prayer a consistent habit in your life. It provides the history and theological foundation for the practice, and helps identify and overcome common obstacles.
