Nourishing faithfulness in prayer

This book is divided into four sections. The first considers God's love for us and our response of prayer. The second and third parts explore the Scriptural ideal of unceasing prayer. The fourth section, which is approximately half of the book, examines three "techniques" which aim to foster unceasing prayer, namely: centering prayer, the Jesus Prayer, and lectio divina. The first, more theoretical, half of the book can be comforting to those who are confused by their relationship with God. The second half offers practical, gentle advice along with how-to instruction. The sections on lectio and the Jesus Prayer are especially good.
