Outreach 2022 Recommended Resource (Spiritual Growth) All fruitful
doing must begin with being. For many Christians, it's easy to be
swept up into the fast pace of modern life, desiring to do much for
God. But we struggle to slow down and be with God. According to
pastor, Enneagram teacher, and author AJ Sherrill, being with God
is what empowers doing for God. Sherrill shares his own journey
from "busy" Christianity to the ancient paths of contemplative
practices. He equips readers to integrate rhythms of stillness,
silence, and solitude, offering step-by-step guidance and examples
of finding solitude both personally and on retreats. Sherrill warns
that making these changes appears absurd in a society where time is
money, productivity is central, and hurry is a way of life. He
guides readers gently through the beginning and often confusing
stages of contemplative practice. Citing timely insights from the
world of neurology and mental health, he shows that solitude is
crucial not only for Christian growth but also for holistic
flourishing. Foreword by Rich Villodas. Readers will emerge,
centered in Christ, well on their way to this goal: slow down, pay
attention, be still, and be loved.
For Christians, prayer is the main way we communicate with God -
but what can we do when we struggle with the question of how to
pray or feel our prayer lives are lacking? Seven Ways to Pray
explores how by looking to ancient prayer practices of
Christianity, we can find fresh ways to relate to God today.
Discovering these tried and tested tools will not only strengthen
our relationship with him but will bring us joy, contentment,
growth and transformation. With warmth and encouragement, Amy
Boucher Pye takes us through seven ways to pray to God: praying
with the Bible, receiving and extending forgiveness, practicing
God's presence, listening prayer, the prayer of lament, praying
with the gospels imaginatively and the prayer of examen. Guiding us
through their history, she shows us how easily we can make these
prayer practices part of our lives and use them to grow closer to
God. Along with prayer exercises to help us engage directly with
God, there are questions for individual reflection or small-group
discussion, making Seven Ways to Pray perfect to use as a family,
in churches or with friends. This is a book for anyone who has ever
wondered how to pray or is looking for ways to revitalise their
prayer lives. It will give you an understanding of some of the
oldest prayer practices of Christianity, and equip you with the
tools you need to renew and refresh your relationship with God.
Come along, and discover Seven Ways to Pray.
