From £7.99
In our hectic lives, it's easy to forget that prayer is more about a conversation and experience with God than it is a request line. This book is an invitation to meaningful prayer. Through stories, images, contemplative exercises, poetry, classical prayers, and creative meditations on prayer, it helps us explore ten human experiences where prayer originates: love, desire, fear, suffering, compassion, brokenness, rest, reflection, wonder, and gratitude.
Mark Yaconelli is the co-founder and co-director of the Triptykos School of Compassion. His research and ministry has been ground-breaking in its exploration of spiritual direction, contemplation and ancient spiritual practice as the basis of discipleship with young people. The author of Contemplative Youth Ministry, (2006), Growing Souls and Teaching Teenagers to Pray (2009), he is in demand as a retreat leader and speaker throughout the United States and, increasingly, in the UK.
