Eliezer Schweid (1929-2022) is widely regarded as one of the
greatest historians of Jewish thought of our era. In Siddur
Hatefillah, he probes the Jewish prayer book as a reflection of
Judaism's unity and continuity as a unique spiritual entity; and as
the most popular, most uttered, and internalized text of the Jewish
people. Schweid explores texts which process religious
philosophical teaching into the language of prayer, and/or express
philosophical ideas in prayer's special language - which the
worshipper reflects upon in order to direct prayer, and through
which flows hoped-for feedback. With the addition of historical,
philological, and literary contexts, the study provides the reader
with first-time access to the comprehensive meaning of Jewish
prayer-filling a vacuum in both the experience and scholarship of
Jewish worship.
Immaculee Ilibagiza believes that praying the rosary spared her
from being slaughtered during the horrific 1994 Rwanda genocide, in
which her family and more than a million other innocent men, women,
and children were brutally murdered. Nearly two decades later,
Immaculee continues to pray the rosary every day and marvels at how
she is constantly renewed and richly rewarded by rejoicing in this
glorious prayer. It has helped her in every aspect of her life,
from literally saving her life to strengthening her faith, easing
sorrows, changing heartache into happiness, healing illnesses in
herself and others, solving family problems, landing a dream job,
finding long-lost friends, and even locating lost keys She received
so many blessings from the rosary, in fact, that she decided to
study its history and origins. She soon discovered that it was not
just meant for Catholics, but that the Virgin Mary promised a life
filled with blessings to everyone from any religion who faithfully
recited the rosary daily . . . and this was such wonderful news
that she vowed to share it with as many people as she could. In The
Rosary: The Prayer That Saved My Life, Immaculee reveals how the
rosary's many blessings can be reaped by each and every one of us.
In this moving and uplifting book, the New York Times bestselling
author recounts her personal experience of discovering the power
and the beauty of the ancient beads--and shows all of us how to
enrich our own lives by exploring and embracing the mysteries,
secrets, and promises of the prayer that became her "lifeline to
heaven."
E. M. Bounds, one of the most prolific and powerful writers on
prayer said, "Men and women are needed whose prayers will give to
the world the utmost power of God; who will make His promises to
blossom with rich and full results. God is waiting to hear us and
challenges us to bring Him to do this thing by our praying." A
Treasury of Prayer is the best of seven books on prayer by E. M.
Bounds in a single volume. Pursue prayer "with an energy that never
tires, a persistency which will not be denied, and a courage that
never fails."
This collection of ground-breaking essays considers the many
dimensions of prayer: how prayer relates us to the divine; prayer's
ability to reveal what is essential about our humanity; the power
of prayer to transform human desire and action; and the relation of
prayer to cognition. It takes up the meaning of prayer from within
a uniquely phenomenological point of view, demonstrating that the
phenomenology of prayer is as much about the character and
boundaries of phenomenological analysis as it is about the heart of
religious life.The contributors: Michael F. Andrews, Bruce Ellis
