A new, but ancient, way to pray can turn your life around. Discover
how to experience God's love at your core, freeing you to love
others, and even yourself. When biblical scholar and coach Brian
Russell discovered centering prayer at a difficult crossroad in his
life, he had no idea how his life would change. "Sensing God's love
for me has been so transformational that it almost feels as though
I've experienced conversion all over again," he writes. He became
calmer, less anxious, less reactive, freed of past wounds, and a
better listener in the presence of others. Centering prayer, also
known as the prayer of silence, helps you quiet your mind from the
constant thoughts and impulses, and frees your true self to
experience more of God's love in the very core of your being. This
inviting guide gives you practical tools to make centering prayer a
consistent habit in your life, gives the history and theological
foundation for the practice, and helps identify and overcome common
obstacles. Beginners, as well as seasoned practitioners, will gain
inspiration, rich insight, and practical knowledge of a
contemplative prayer practice that can open you up to deep
experiences of inner healing and peace.
