A Manual of Receptive Prayer: for Study, Practice and Retreats

Synopsis

"A MANUAL OF RECEPTIVE PRAYER: For Study, Practice, and Retreats accompanies ("accompanies" is in ITALICS) the text: RECEPTIVE PRAYER: PRAYER WHICH NOURISHES, HEALS, AND EMPOWERS. It is a superb daily resource in the practice and understanding of Receptive Prayer (meditation and contemplation), and, as a retreat resource, it is unsurpassed. The Manual provides daily support for 7 to 14 weeks for individuals or groups. It includes study questions; complete instructions in 7 different forms of Receptive Prayer; scripture, hymns, and memorization keyed to each type of Receptive Prayer; and weekly suggestions for integrating Active Receptive Prayer into daily life. It includes 4 inspiring, new Guided Receptive Prayers in addition to those found in the text. Approaches to more insightful reading, journal keeping, enriching prayer partnerships, changing petitions to affirmations, and transforming intercessory prayer are part of the growth which this Manual so sensitively tries to apply."
