In this book, Ron DelBene introduces a concept of prayer that will help persons new to prayer as well as veterans of the life of prayer. The Breath Prayer is a short prayer of praise and petition that is meant to help us become aware of the presence of God. It is a way to have on our lips what is always in our heart, DelBene explains. The author leads the leader to discover his or her own personal and individualized breath prayer, a prayer that may be prayed at any time of the day or night. He gives historical examples of the breath prayer used in ancient writings as well as modern-day examples of how persons have utilized and been helped by this way of praying Other titles in the The Breath of Life Series are The Hunger of the Heart: A Call to Spiritual Growth and Alone with God: A Guide for Personal Retreats, both written by Ron DelBene with Mary and Herb Montgomery.
I had heard about the breath prayer and was curious to learn more about it. I read this book in about 2 hours, so it is an easy read, but it has some very profound ideas and thoughts in it, as well as concrete suggestions in how to develop your own personal breath prayer. The basic premise is to learn a simple way to pray unceasingly, and get God into your life all the time. Who doesn't need that? I am recommending this to my family and friends who are interested in further developing their relationship with God. Enjoy
