The 15-Minute Prayer Solution by Gary Jansen
2017 Catholic Press Association Book Awards, Honorable Mention: Prayer, Books About Prayer
What might happen if you gave just ONE PERCENT of your day to God?
I don't have time to pray. I don't know how to pray. I don't know what to pray for. Perhaps you identify with one or all of these statements; most people do. But with Gary Jansen's The 15-Minute Prayer Solution, anyone can learn to turn those "I don't" statements into "I do" declarations-- and be transformed in the process.
Drawing on spiritual practices from the Christian tradition throughout the centuries, Jansen offers numerous and wide-ranging prayer exercises that can be completed in less than fifteen minutes. The Jesus Prayer, lectio divina, the Examen, imaginative prayer, and many more ways to joyfully encounter the Living God are explained. Deeply personal stories, thought provoking modern-day parables, and even humorous anecdotes bring spiritual ideas down to earth, revealing the practical side of prayer.
And, as Jansen himself discovered, if you're willing to take just fifteen minutes a day to pray, you may soon find that the entirety of your life has become a prayer, a relentless desire to place God at the center of everything.
Now in paperback: Gary Jansen's bestselling Exercising Your Soul retitled, repackaged and revised!
