Summary

Accept this invitation to an exciting and life-transforming journey through the gift of contemplative prayer. In forty days you will discover how you can be centered in prayer and centered in daily living. The book teaches a method of prayer that goes deeper than verbal conversations with God. It teaches: silent communion with God, a method of being open to the gift of God's presence, a way of receiving a deep and intimate relationship with God. Each day offers a scripture reading as a basis for the meditation that follows. J. David Muyskens includes stories from his personal experience and draws from a diverse collection of Protestant and Catholic practitioners of contemplative prayer. Book jacket.
