SHOW NOTES
Prayer - it eludes people.
The original disciples didn’t get prayer. Most of us don’t get it either.
And Contemplative Prayer? That really confuses people!
The modern world has lost sight of this vital practice. So Steve and Gwen set out to study, learn and even unlearn what they thought they knew about contemplative prayer. The journey was life changing. The book “Ascending the Mountain Within” is the fruit of that long journey, and today we have the privilege of hearing Joe Chambers read the book for us.
Please join us! And share with your friends - it’s a book that can change how we all experience prayer.
Please Note: This will be our last episode of the season. We will be on break for the summer and look forward to seeing you again for Season 6!
Mentioned in podcast
“Practice the Presence of God.” - This phrase was coined by Brother Lawrence, a 17th century Carmelite friar. It is also the title of a small book by him which we highly recommend.
Practical Guidelines - Take a 20-minute window of time to practice and experience contemplative prayer.
