Product Description

While it is surely preposterous for us to suppose we can interact with the God of this universe, Scripture repeatedly invites us to do that very thing. Prayer is not a minor idea tucked into the cracks of the text, it is central, normative, and expected. Why is it, then, that our prayers are so often dry and difficult?

In Meditative Prayer, you'll discover those ways of prayer that make use of your mind and imagination, that address your needs as well as strengthen your spirit. By drawing from a number of different sources---from Scripture, from wise men and women who have gone before, and from one another---this study guide will enable your soul to drink deeply from the inexhaustible well of prayer. (Though you can use this guide for a personal journey of prayer, it is ideally suited for exploration with a small group of like-minded friends.)

Seven of the prayer tools that have been used for hundreds, even thousands of years are being discovered with real benefit by the evangelical church. Richard Peace presents a number of these tools in a format that works well for individuals or small groups. The presentation of each prayer technique is clear enough to catch on the first reading. Those that respond favorably to these ancient tools will no doubt benefit by more in-depth study and practice. In order to really benefit from the exercises it would be best to have a guide that has expereince using the techniques. The brevity of the book meant that the author did not address some of the common difficulties people have finding the full benefit of these tools.
