Dr. Tim Gray of Augustine Institute says about this study; "Though prayer is one of the essentials of a thriving faith, we often feel as if we are talking to ourselves. Or, worse, we feel like we are talking to no one at all. How can something so vital to faith be so elusive?" Now, the mystery of prayer is made clear through the engaging teaching and cinematic artistry of the Augustine Institute in Prayer: Finding Intimacy with God. In 6-sessions, renowned speaker Dr. Gray masterfully uses the ancient Church's tradition of lectio divina to show you the simple steps for making prayer an effort of love and intimacy with God, opening our hearts and minds to scripture as the means to hear God and respond in conversation, basking in his presence and resolving to live in and through his love. In this informative presentation, Dr. Gray, shares how Lectio Prayer enables you to enter into a dialogue with God. This prayerful reading of Sacred Scripture is a proven means to encounter God in daily life and will benefit those new to prayer and the experienced alike. This study will begin on Wednesday, April 24 and go through Wednesday, May 29. It will start at 9:30 in room 201. The cost of the study guide is $25.00.
