Are you longing to take your relationship with God to a new level? This book introduces you to twelve prayer practices that:
- invite you to solitude and silence
- invite you to use your mind and imagination
- invite you to use your body and your creativity
- invite you to connect with nature and community.
You'll meet 'travelling companions' from history, such as Ignatius Loyola and Julian of Norwich - individuals and groups whose lives were illuminated by these ways of praying. An appendix offers step-by-step instructions for practicing the Jesus Prayer and the prayer of examen, for walking a labyrinth, praying with your body, and more - whether individually or as a group.
