OUR PRAYERS SHOULD GO AS DEEP AS OUR SOULS. In today’s society we are often handicapped in our spiritual growth by too narrow a horizon when it comes to spiritual practices. Each generation suffers a kind of collective amnesia, forgetting the practices and perspectives that nourished countless followers of Christ in centuries past. Rediscovering these skills is one way to respond to our culture’s-and our own-deep spiritual hunger. While it is surely preposterous for us to suppose we can interact with the God of this universe, Scripture repeatedly invites us to do that very thing. Prayer is not a minor idea tucked into the cracks of the text, it is central, normative, and expected. Why is it, then, that our prayers are so often dry and difficult? In Meditative Prayer, you’ll discover ways of prayer that make use of your mind and imagination, that address your needs as well as strengthen your spirit. By drawing from a number of different sources-Scripture, wise men and women who have gone before, and one another-this study guide will enable your soul to drink deeply from the inexhaustible well of prayer. (Though you can use this guide for a personal journey of prayer, it is ideally suited for exploration with a small group of like-minded friends.)

Real Life Stuff for Women: On Stress Running Nowhere in Every Direction To say we're busy is like saying Greenland has ice. We're running as fast as we can-to work, school, church, sports, music lessons, the mall-but the faster we run and the more places we run to, the more some of us feel we're really running nowhere. With a few girlfriends who are just as wiped out but want to get somewhere too, you can link arms and begin figuring out how you can get off the treadmill. With this fresh new discussion guide that brings together literary and cultural insights, conversation starters, and key passages from The Message, you can discover together what God has to say about the stress in your life-your schedule, expectations, limits, happiness, and much more. You can find encouragement and insight to stop running nowhere and start walking somewhere with God.
