Cultivating a Contemplative Heart and Becoming a Person of Prayer - Paperback

Contemplative prayer is primarily about love, the love which is God himself. Intimate communion with God is the deepest desire of every human heart. It's the key to holiness and happiness, to peace and purpose. But it's purely a gift. We can't make it happen. We can, however, dispose our hearts to receive it through God's grace.

Cultivating a Contemplative Heart and Becoming a Person of Prayer challenges laypeople to pursue the heights of holiness and the depths of contemplative spirituality no less than any clergy or consecrated religious. This book explores the various qualities of a contemplative heart and how to nurture them.

• Learn to love truth and treasure God's will.
• Be helped to hear God's voice and come to appreciate the vital function of a contemplative in the Body of Christ.
• Understand why prayer is so powerful.
• Witness the unexpected victory found in surrender.

By cultivating a contemplative heart, a heart in love with Jesus Christ, you can experience a deep interior life filled with an ever-growing awareness of the presence of God.
