Prayer: Experiencing Awe & Intimacy with God
Prayer is central to Christian faith; indeed, as Timothy Keller notes in his introduction, it is the main way we experience deep change. Yet so many people struggle with prayer – a struggle that the author himself has shared. This wise and inspiring book is the fruit of those struggles, offering a real and glorious vision of what it can mean to seek God in prayer.
Keller begins by giving a theological underpinning of what prayer actually is – both conversation and encounter with a personal God – before describing how we can learn to pray, and then deepen that prayer. Finally he gives detailed, practical suggestions on how to make prayer a part of the reality of daily life.
The Practice of the Presence of God
Brother Lawrence was a seventeenth century Christian who had a spiritual awakening in his teens when seeing a tree in winter. He felt his soul suddenly opened to the presence of God. Within years he had entered a monastery, where he worked in the kitchen. There he turned his attention to the Divine Presence available at all times during any activity. He reports that he was as fully present with God while washing dishes in the kitchen as he was when partaking of the sacrament in worship.
This volume consists of personal conversations and letters, which communicate how one can experience God at all times.
