Prayer & Listening
paperback
|
Most Christians have experienced the "laundry list" phase of spiritual life, in which praying means giving God an agenda of needs to handle.
How do you move to having real conversation with God?
How do you hear what God is saying back to you?
How can you make your experience of God being with you part of everyday life?
In this study guide, Jan Johnson covers the disciplines of prayer and of practicing God's presence. Going deeper in these areas will help you to draw closer to God in everything you do.
"Jan Johnson gives realistic direction on what we can do to make connecting with God the basis of day to day existence. Such a relationship cannot be handed to us, but we can be led into it by someone who knows the way. She does. She opens a path on which anyone can actually and continuously grow in grace and in the knowledge of Jesus Christ--anyone, no matter their background or circumstances."
