How to Pray

Résumé du livre

This book will change your life! Prayer is difficult and elusive for many people but in this easy-to-read volume, popular spirituality author Bill Huebsch introduces you to an understanding and practice of prayer which will last the rest of your life. Huebsch examines the ancient-yet-modern ways of Centering, Ignatian, and other forms of Catholic and Christian prayer. Answering the question once posed by Karl Rahner, "How does God speak to us in prayer?" the author traces the fundamental ways in which we hear God's voice within and among us.In the first part of the book, Huebsch helps us remember that we have an inborn hunger for God, no matter what religion we practice. In gender and ecumenically inclusive language, the author reminds us that, because of this inborn orientation to God, much of the thought, reflection, and insight already present in our day-to-day lives is already a powerful form of prayer. By simply turning the heart toward the Light, we amplify that and let it empower our lives. In the second part of the book, Huebsch provides practical suggestions to help us grow in our ability to hear the voice of God as it echoes in our depths. Whether you've been praying for a long time or are just hoping to get started, this powerful section of the book will affirm and enhance your experience.
