Frank Wallace S J On Prayer
With personal anecdotes, insights from psychology and varied teachings on prayer, Part One looks at fascinating concerns such as self-revelation, our God-image, the role of feelings, prayer of the heart, healing prayer, couple prayer, scriptural contemplation and the meaning of mysticism. The emphasis is on the difference between performance prayer - the trap of always trying harder - and prayer as an encounter, an intimacy, which allows God to be the major partner, loving and accepting us.
Some of Western mysticism's most passionate lovers are presented in Part Two, men and women who can give us practical help in turning our prayer into moments of surprise and discovery. Ideal for both individual and group use, this unique book closes each chapter with activities and questions for reflection and discussion.
