Details: In this practical book, Fr Basil Pennington presents time-tested ways Christians have used to cultivate a deep inner relationship with God. He describes their origins and their value for contemporary Christians. These include biblical prayer, or Praying the Scriptures, a method that can bring both the Bible and one's prayer time to life. The author also discusses the popular prayer movement known as Centering Prayer which is a modern application of the ancient christian practice of contemplative prayer. He also shows us how to use that mainstay of Catholic devotion, the Rosary, in various ways. The Way, or Stations of the Cross, has been cherished by many Catholics, and Fr Pennington invests this discipline with new life. From his own monastic tradition he speaks about the value of the Prayer of the Hours. The Jesus Prayer is discussed as well as ways to make the Eucharistic Liturgy a way of prayer.
