perfect for introducing one to affective prayer

One of the best books I've encountered that helps people to pray affectively. Loosely based on the Ignatian Exercises, one need not be familiar with the Ignatian Exercises, nor be Catholic to get wonderful use from this series.

from "The Word Among Us" Press

Birth: A Guide to Prayer offers meditations that will help readers to know, love, and follow Jesus more closely in their daily lives. The meditations invite contemplation on the earthly life of Jesus, from his incarnation through his public ministry. Based on the second week of the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, the book incorporates key exercises such as Ignatius' Two Standards and Three Kinds of Persons. The books in the Take and Receive series will bring readers into a closer relationship with the Lord as they discover and respond to his love and call for their lives. These revised and updated editions offer 36 structured meditations, providing a relevant Scripture passage, an incisive commentary, and a suggested approach to prayer for that day. Designed as a support for private prayer, these exercises can also be used in prayer groups, faith-sharing communities, and Bible studies. Spiritual directors and retreat leaders will find the series to be invaluable in bringing others to Christ.
