John Eldredge, autor best seller del New York Times ofrece una guia paso a paso hacia una oracion eficaz, una guia paso a paso a traves de diversas ocasiones en las que las oraciones pueden ser aplicadas, incluyendo el fundamento biblico que respalda "la tecnica", anecdotas alentadoras y modelos de oraciones. ?Por que unas oraciones funcionan y otras no? ?Como se sentiria orar con la confianza y la garantia de que Dios te escucha y que tus oraciones hacen una diferencia? John Eldredge ofrece una guia paso a paso hacia una oracion eficaz. Todos tenemos una razon para orar. Anhelamos ver que Dios conceda nuestras peticiones y las de nuestros seres amados. Sin embargo, algunas veces no lo hace, y entonces, ?donde nos deja esa situacion? ?Estamos haciendo algo mal? ?No nos escucha? ?Por que las oraciones de algunas personas parecen mas eficaces que las de otras? Entonces nos desanimamos y dejamos de lado la oracion, el arma misma que Dios nos ha dado para que no nos desanimemos. Si tienes algun interes en la oracion, necesitas oraciones que funcionen. Esa es la clase de oraciones que constituyen el tema de este libro. Cuando descubrimos que la oracion no consiste simplemente en pedirle a Dios que haga algo, sino que representa nuestra colaboracion con El, se abren ante nosotros nuevas posibilidades. No hay nada mas esperanzador que el pensamiento de que las cosas pueden ser diferentes, y de que tenemos un papel que desempenar en producir los cambios necesarios. Con Dios, podemos mover montanas. Mueve montanas te ensenara como experimentar el poder de la oracion, desde la intimidad de la oracion de escuchar, la oracion de sanidad interior y el "clamor del corazon", hasta la habilidad de las oraciones de intervencion, de consagracion y de guerra espiritual. Tu vida nunca sera la misma. Tampoco lo sera el mundo... gracias a tus oraciones. This book offers a step-by-step guide through a variety of prayer applications, including the biblical basis supporting the "technique," encouraging anecdotes, and model prayers. The disciples asked Jesus, "Teach us to pray!" Most Christians-most people for that matter-want to pray and do pray, but they don't feel confident in the process. This book offers a step-by-step guide through a variety of prayer applications, including the biblical basis supporting the "technique," encouraging anecdotes, and model prayers. John Eldredge has been teaching people how to pray for twenty years, and he has seen remarkable results. From experience, he knows what gets in the way of effective prayer and how to help people toward prayer that is truly effective. The book begins with a liberating reframing of what prayer is. Most Christians labor under the fundamental misconception that prayer is essentially "asking God to intervene." This assumption has led to untold confusion and grief, for many do ask but God does not seem to hear...or care. Whereas Jesus said to his disciples, "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven" (Matt 16:19). When we operate from a position of our authority in Christ, we approach prayer with far greater confidence.

Luigi Gioia's book Say it to God: In Search of Prayer was chosen as the 2018 Archbishop of Canterbury's Lent Book and welcomed by many as an honest, accessible guide to freshen their practice of prayer in the midst of busy modern life.

In Touched by God, Gioia moves on to explore the art of contemplation. He points out that contemplation is not a more advanced way of praying but a silent and loving attentiveness to God which has nothing in common with disembodied, ahistorical and impersonal forms of spirituality.

Contemplation begins when we are touched by God through Scripture and become aware of his presence in us. Gioia shows how this happens concretely in the lives of the characters of the Gospel of John, his chosen guide to learn how to welcome God in our lives and interact with him.

Gioia's way to contemplation takes the reader not only through Scripture but also through plays and novels where God is never mentioned or is seen as absent, distant or even as an enemy. By engaging with both religious and non-religious authors the reader can discover that contemplation is not some kind of spiritual wonderland but coexists with doubts, thrives in the middle of struggles, is discovered even in suffering, dissolves guilt and leads to authentic self-knowledge and compassion for every human being.
