The Sacred Place of Prayer by Jean Marie Dwyer Op
Writing from many years of prayer, both solitary and in community, as well as reflective study and Bible reading, Sr Jean Marie Dwyer shares a wealth of insights to help Christians nourish and expand their devotional life. Warmly endorsed by best-selling UK author Timothy Radcliffe, the book combines accessible teaching with deep insight and also practical exercises at the end of each chapter to 'earth' the lessons learned in the reader's own experience. An appendix provides a helpful guide to developing the practice of Lectio Divina.
'This gentle book is the fruit of years of study and monastic prayerIt becomes ever more interesting as Sister Jean Marie engages with her subject. It is worth having for the chapter on Etty Hillesum alone.' Timothy Radcliffe, OP, former Master of the worldwide Dominican Order of Preachers and author of numerous books, including Why Go to Church? and Seven Last Words
Sister Jean Marie Dwyer, OP, is a member of a Dominican monastery in British Columbia, Canada. Much of what she writes in this book is drawn from years of reflective study, Lectio Divina, and her own gradual formation through study and prayerful interaction with the scriptures in community and in solitary prayer.
