Prayer by Joyce Rupp

The books came in time for the prayer discussion. All were in great condition. Thank You.

Book on Prayer

This book is a must for those who pray daily and sometimes find it difficult to do so.

Prayer Joyce Rupp

Very focused, intentional, coming out of personal faith journey's and drawing one into the Divine Presence that is the real longing of all our hearts. Not just another how to, but this took me into my own relationship and friendship with Jesus and the "Eternal Love". Motivates self surrender and embrace of the Holy One, transforming and Trinitarian in all its mystery of divine communication and revelation.

A Lived Experience

Having finished reading Joyce Rupp's book, Prayer, my inclination was to begin to read it again. Clearly, she first lives what she then shares through her writing. She writes with a welcomed sincerity and honesty and acknowledges prayer as the door to deeper relationships and personal transformation. Her book is filled with sentences so packed with meaning that the words should be read slowly and reflectively. Sister Rupp offers questions at the end of each chapter to encourage the reader to stop, ponder, and pray. This book will encourage anyone who seeks to grow in personal relationship with God.

Prayer

This is a thought provoking book on prayer. It certainly helps one to see the relationship of Christ with all christians. It also has many great suggestions in developing a prayer life. I would recommend this book to anyone who is searching for a more meaningful prayer life. Joyce Rupp is a wonderful current author who can inspire others to develop a relationship with God.
