Step into the Light

Aimed at adult Christians of all ages who want to move beyond "shopping list" intercessions into experiencing prayer as a relationship with God, this book is chiefly designed for groups trying guided meditative prayer for the first time.;It contains an introduction explaining this type of prayer and how to use it both with groups and alone. This is followed by 30 meditations in 3 sections: 1)Developing the relationship (initial encounters with Jesus); 2)Obedience and discipleship (learning more and drawing closer); 3)The deeper relationship.;Most of the meditations use a New Testament setting but others use a contemporary or even a dream setting. A concluding section lists helpful resources and suggests ways of developing this kind of prayer.
