 General Description:

Description
Prayer is a word we take for granted but what do we mean by prayer? Almost always when we talk about prayer we refer to something we DO. But Burrows argues that our Christian knowledge assures us that prayer is essentially what God DOES.

And what God is doing for us is giving us the Divine Self in love. This is the vision of a contemplative nun who contradicts the heresy of so much modern spiritual writing. The growing fascination in the contemplative and monastic life is evidence of the profound appeal of this approach.

For this there is a real hunger. Ultimately, we live for God and not for ourselves.
Table Of Contents
Growth in Prayer/Prayer that is Jesus/The Human response to God/The Way to perfection/Doctor of the Dark Night/Sustained Passion/Alone with Him Alone/A Stark Encounter with the Human Condition/Consecrated Life

Ruth Burrows is a Carmelite Nun from Quiddenham in Norfolk, England. She is the author of a number of bestselling books about Prayer and Spiritual Theology - including Guidelines for Mystical Prayer, and Essence of Prayer.
