Weaving Prayer Into the Tapestry of Life
Most books are like visitors. They come and go. Weaving Prayer into the Tapestry of Life wants to hang around and be a friendly companion to help you connect with God about the living of your life as you weave your personal life tapestry.
The eight chapters provide an overview of Christian understanding and practice of prayer. They deal with the who, what, why and how questions.
After each chapter is an invitation to move from thinking to doing. Nine sets of prayer prompts provide structure and stimulus for experiencing the dimensions of Christian prayer discussed here. The prayer prompts from Scripture, prayers of the church and contemporary sources are open-ended and lead to expression of the prayers from your heart.
Each set of prayer prompts leads you through the following forms of prayer:
• Centering
• Praise
• Confession
• Meditative reading of Scripture
• Petition
• Intercession
• Thanksgiving
• Dedication
• Silence
• Benediction
Members of a prayer group or spiritual-growth group may enjoy sharing their experiences with weaving prayer into the tapestry of their lives by reading and praying together.
“Martha Rowlett deeply understands Christian thinking, Christian living, Christian prayer, and, dare I say it, God. She shares her wisdom with utmost simplicity. Those who use her book will find themselves becoming better Christians. ”
