Synopsis

In this unique and encouraging guide to prayer, Kent Ira Groff, a longtime retreat leader and inspiring writer-poet, explores how to engage in spirituality that blesses your soul and the world. Whether you're advanced or just starting on your spiritual path, this practical prayer path breaker will lure you in with its novel combination of touching, true stories, pithy thoughts and inspiring prayer practices.

For those turned off by shopworn religious language, it offers innovative ways to pray in four metaphorical movements that parallel both Native American traditions and Ignatian spirituality:

East Morning / Prayer as Awareness

Waking up to reality opening

South Noon / Prayer as Empowerment

Embracing your dreams and possibilities expanding

West Afternoon / Prayer as Relinquishment

Letting go of attachments emptying

North Night / Prayer as Paradox

Uniting the opposites of life integrating

Prayer practices for each of the four movements provide for personal and group enrichment at home and work, in formal programmes and informal friendships. They interweave the author's own experience to say: This is honest to God spirituality and I'm seeing myself.
