Book excerpt: THE BIBLE AS PRAYER is an anthology of short phrases and passages from the Bible designed specifically as an aid to prayer. It is a resource to keep at hand in pocket or briefcase, enabling the reader to engage quickly with the business of praying.As early as the third century, monks would take short phrases from the Scriptures and meditate on them in their hearts or on their lips.

This book aims to return to the source, drawing both traditions together and helping busy people in the 21st century to rediscover a simple form of meditation.Every page of this unique book has some words to help the reader open heart and mind to the One who prays in us.
Download or read book Contemplative Bible Reading written by Richard Peace and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2015-06-22 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new way to read the Bible. Spiritual disciplines are simply ways to open ourselves to God. They help us become aware of the many ways God speaks to us and provide us with ways to respond to God. This book explores and explains how the historical disciplines and perspectives of the Christian faith can deepen both our walk with God and our community with others. Reading the Bible is something that most of us are familiar with. Some even do it regularly. But do we really think about how we read and respond to Scripture? How deeply do we allow ourselves to be impacted by it? Contemplative Bible reading (or lectio divina, as it is often called) is an ancient method of approaching Scripture. Consisting of four parts, this method begins with the selected biblical passage and moves to meditating, praying, and contemplating what God is revealing through the Bible. Many of us tend to think of meditation as something done individually, but reflecting on Scripture in a small group invites us to act and encourages us to share with others how God is calling us to respond. Contemplative Bible Reading examines this spiritual discipline and invites your small group to approach Scripture in a new and challenging way. By exploring different passages and learning to hear God's voice in them, this guide will help you meditate and act on the truth of the Bible.
