Book Overview
Author Kristen Johnson Ingram was photographing Native American dancers at an Oregon pow-wow when an official tapped her on the shoulder and asked her to stop taking pictures. "This is the prayer the dancer is doing," he explained.
For people of faith, Ingram realized, there are many forms of prayer besides the ones we speak with our lips: Devout Jews bow while reading Torah; Episcopalians stand, sit, or kneel in church; exuberant Christians raise their arms; and mystics of all denominations walk while murmuring the Jesus Prayer. As Christians, we can use our entire bodies to praise God, transforming simple acts like hearing music, looking at shafts of sunlight, or walking in the woods into acts of prayer that celebrate God's presence in everyday life. Beyond Words is a book for spiritual adventurers who seek new ways to pray. Readers can put into practice the concepts they find here, making the book not just a source of inspiration but a springboard to action that deepens their prayer lives and draws them closer to God.Format:Paperback

Great stuff - I was pleasantly surprised
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I purchased this book separately to help me get though a mandatory class on leading prayer. The instructor seemed a little stuck in 1940's to me; I needed something to work on privately and this book helped much. The author uses this book to help us see the world as a continuous opportunity for prayer. God bless my class instructor and fellow students; but this book expanded the rather dry offering to a wonderful experience for me. Highly recommended.
