Praying with Scripture
An Online Retreat
Course Description
The most popular spiritual tool for personal prayer among Christians is the Bible. Yet, very few people have learned how to incorporate Sacred Scripture into their personal prayer time in a way that is relational and deeply meaningful. Well, now there's help!
This online retreat offers an introduction to three styles of praying with Scripture--lectio divina, imaginative prayer, and the prayer of consideration, with details and directions on how to apply them to your prayer time. You'll be provided with everything you need--videos teaching you about each style of prayer and meditation guides for your personal prayer time.
