Title
Discovering Lectio Divina: Bringing Scripture into Ordinary Life - Paperback
by James C. Wilhoit (Author), Evan B. Howard (Author)
Saints of the past can't seem to say enough about their ecstatic experiences with the words of Scripture. The writer of Psalm 19, for example, can hardly contain himself as he exclaims that God's words and ways have revived his soul, made him wise, brought joy to his heart, given him clarity and correct perspective on his life, and warned him of danger. Why should our experiences of the Bible today fall short of this standard? What are we missing?Spiritual formation experts James Wilhoit andEvan Howard argue that our ancestors in the faith responded to the special nature of Scripture with special habits of reading. In this step-by-step introduction to the practice of lectio divina, you will learn what it means to read your wayinto a new and life-changing intimacy with God.Their simple, easy-to-follow explanation of this ancient practice provides a perfect foundation for you to begin meeting God in his Word as you:
- read,
- meditate,
- pray
- and contemplate.
Discover a new experience of God's Word--one that leads you to experience more of God himself.
