Prayer is opening the door every morning and every evening even when there is no one on the doorstep. Prayer is the hope that one day, if I continue to open the door, God, or God s messenger will be there to greet me. from The Pasture Spring

I have written these personal reflections in order to de-mystify prayer. They sound, I hope, like someone s first couple of days on vacation. The gradual unwinding, the letting go of the need to judge and justify, the beginnings of observation, of noticing tangible things like the tenor of the morning, the taste of coffee, the sun on the bay, the fishing boats still and expectant, looking almost afraid to rock or move lest they betray their presence to the unseen fish, the feeling that something more should be happening. Instead, there is only the silence, the absence of obligation, of schedules, of people to assuage or assure or simply attend to. I am doing nothing; I am trying not to be disturbed or anxious about that. from Surrendering to Now

This lyrical and inviting exploration of prayer by Franciscan poet and writer Murray Bodo offers a centering peace for a busy world. Landscape of Prayer may be read as an examination of a personal prayer history, in various settings Thomas Merton s hermitage at Gethsemani, Kentucky; a Navajo hogan in the Southwest; fly-fishing in the middle of a trout stream; in a comfortable armchair with his mother s Navajo rug about his knees; the center of Franciscan thought and prayer, Assisi or it may be read as a how-to-pray guide.

40 Days for Life began modestly--just a small group of Christians gathered around a table for an hour of prayer. It has grown into the largest international pro-life mobilization in history, a movement of prayer and fasting, peaceful vigils, and community outreach that has spread lifesaving hope around the world. Every baby saved, every life transformed, every abortion facility closed is an amazing story. This book contains forty of those stories-stories of lives God has already transformed in 40 days! The Expanded Edition includes a new prologue revealing moving, behind-the-scenes inspiration for the movement that is changing hearts and saving lives one prayer at a time, and a new final chapter and epilogue.

It is a rare book that radiates joy, sadness and mystery at the picture of life that seems to overwhelm us.Prayers for pagans is precisely this kind of book.

My whole life, in one sense, he has been an experiment in how to be a portable sanctuary," writes Richard Foster, "learning to practice the presence of God in the midst of the stresses and strains of contemporary life." So begins Foster's most personal work yet, a book of prayers that seek to lead us to experience "the reality of God in the midst of going to work and raising kids and cleaning house and paying the bills." Drawing on the structure of his awardwinning Finding the Heart's True Home, Foster presents this collection of prayers according to the three aspects of the human looking inward to the heart, reaching upward toward God, and moving outward to care for others. These prayers speak to moments in our days and events in our lives. Simply and powerfully expressing such basic human experiences as wonder, stillness, the loneliness of anonymity, and the search for faith, Foster encourages us to explore the transformative power of prayer that draws us into the love of God and gives Christian community its life. Longtime Foster readers and newcomers alike will cherish this rich and thoroughly contemporary book from one of our most respected spirtual leaders.

Best-selling author Richard J. Foster offers a warm, compelling, and sensitive primer on prayer, helping us to understand, experience, and practice it in its many forms-from the simple prayer of beginning again to unceasing prayer. He clarifies the prayer process, answers common misconceptions, and shows the way into prayers of contemplation, healing, blessing, forgiveness, and rest.

Coming to prayer is like coming home, Foster says. "Nothing feels more right, more like what we are created to be and to do. Yet at the same time we are confronted with great mysteries. Who hasn't struggled with the puzzle of unanswered prayer? Who hasn't wondered how a finite person can commune with the infinite Creator of the universe? Who hasn't questioned whether prayer isn't merely psychological manipulation after all? We do our best, of course, to answer these knotty questions but when all is said and done, there is a sense in which these mysteries remain unanswered and unanswerable . . . At such times we must learn to become comfortable with the mystery."

Foster shows how prayer can move us inward into personal transformation, upward toward intimacy with God, and outward to minister to others. He leads us beyond questions to a deeper understanding and practice of prayer, bringing us closer to God, to ourselves, and to our community.

In his bestselling Healing Words, Dossey provided abundant evidence that praying - for oneself or others - makes a scientifically measurable difference in recovering from illness or trauma. Now, in Prayer Is Good Medicine, the doctor shows us how we can make the most of our own healing prayers.In a series of short, inspiring chapters, he addresses common questions and concerns about harnessing the healing potential of prayer, including whether to pray with or without words, when and how much to pray, the role of religion in our health, how the medical establishment feels about prayer, and even how to avoid the destructive side of prayer. Dossey emphasizes that praying is not a replacement for good medical treatment, but instead is a very effective addition to it - it just makes good sense to use both.In Prayer Is Good Medicine, you will learn that prayer works, even across great distance; seeking general guidance through prayer can be more valuable than asking for something specific; adopting a compassionate, sincere, and loving attitude will allow your prayers to be truly beneficial; prayers are always answered - though the answer may not be "yes"; and hope heals.Interspersed throughout Dossey's warm and wise reflections are references to studies proving the link between prayer and health, direct retorts to the skepticism that surrounds prayer, and uplifting stories from people - doctors, patients, relatives, and friends - who share their personal experiences with prayer's healing power. No matter what form your faith takes, you'll come away from Prayer Is Good Medicine with a new appreciation of how prayer can bring about healthful change and the tools to make that happen.
