Synopsis

Ascending the Mountain Within is a journey of exploring, discovering and experiencing contemplative prayer. If prayer, for you seems more mechanical than conversational; more dutiful than intimate; more formulaic than heart felt; then this book invites you to Ascend the Mountain Within and discover a whole, other way of praying that is anchored in Scripture, modeled by the Desert Fathers, practiced by the Saints of old, but nearly forgotten and ignored in our modern times. In our fast, hurried, and busy world, we have lost our way to experiencing God by assuming prayer to be transactional--something we must do to get something from God. Prayer is more than asking God to do something. Prayer, as the Smith's describe it, is experiencing God within. Ascending the Mountain is easy to ready, easy to comprehend, and easy to remember as a guideline to experiencing prayer that is contemplative. This is not a book of tips and techniques. Rather, it is a confessional witness to how two seasoned veterans learned to pray. This is intended to be a prayer book, something you will want to carry with you and take with you, often referring to it as a clarion call to pray with the soul in mind.
