Listening Prayer

Listening Prayer invites Christians into a deeper understanding of communion with God through Jesus Christ. Drawing upon biblical theology, the Anglican contemplative tradition and experience in Christian ministry, Chris Maguire explores how listening prayer flows from our union with Christ and the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit. Rather than presenting prayer as a technique to produce spiritual experiences, the book encourages a life of scriptural discernment, attentive fellowship, rest and faithful obedience. With reflective questions and practical applications, Listening Prayer is suitable for individual readers, discipleship groups, ministry teams and those seeking to understand the spiritual discipline of listening prayer within the historic Christian faith. Contents: Union with Christ Practising the Presence of God Communion of the Holy Spirit Listening Prayer Hear, See, Know Relationship Out of Rest Obedience The book includes reflective questions and personal formation exercises.
