About this item
"In this lovely book, Rich presents the timeless wisdom of the Christian East in a way that contemporary men and women will find attractive - and then find themselves being changed from consumers into worshipers, grateful and receptive, increasingly attuned to the immensity and mystery of their Creator." - Frederica Mathewes-Green, author of The Jesus Prayer and Facing East While many Christians like the idea of prayer, the act of spending time alone with God keeps eluding them, as the pressing tasks of the day push ahead in line. Prayer Spa offers gentle instruction in honoring mind, body and soul for a few minutes each day. With a little bit of practice, it is possible to form new habits of expanding neural pathways, relaxing tight muscles, and nourishing the interior self through prayer.
