SUMMARY:Praying Dangerously
DESCRIPTION:Join Rev. Natalie on Zoom for this powerful exploration and practice of prayer\, Tuesdays at 7:30 pm ET. We will read one chapter per week. Please come to the first meeting having read chapter 1. \nFrom Barnes & Noble: \nPraying Dangerously instructs us that we can grow up spiritually\, leaving behind a childish relationship to prayer as a superstitious ritual or mere plea for favors. It encourages readers to recognize the difference between prayer that asks only for reassurance\, and prayer that asks for the Ultimate\, and stands for transformation. “We can cease being ‘victims’ of God’s Will\, while at the same time embracing genuine surrender and reliance on the irrefutable power of love\,” says author and retreat leader Regina Sara Ryan. \nThe insecurities of our times draw us inward or back to our churches. In prayer groups and retreats of all kinds we are looking for comfort and consolation\, for spiritual direction\, or for answers to the eternal questions that have always challenged humanity. This book is a valued contribution in that search. This 10th anniversary edition is fully revised\, with several completely new chapters including: “The High Cost of Forgiveness”-a subject that challenges everyone-and “Praying on the Subway\,” about how our generally busy and often chaotic lives can provide us with a constant impetus for blessing others. \n  \nRegister here \n

SUMMARY:Praying Dangerously
DESCRIPTION:Join Rev. Natalie on Zoom for this powerful exploration and practice of prayer\, Tuesdays at 7:30 pm ET. We will read one chapter per week. Please come to the first meeting having read chapter 1. \nFrom Barnes & Noble: \nPraying Dangerously instructs us that we can grow up spiritually\, leaving behind a childish relationship to prayer as a superstitious ritual or mere plea for favors. It encourages readers to recognize the difference between prayer that asks only for reassurance\, and prayer that asks for the Ultimate\, and stands for transformation. “We can cease being ‘victims’ of God’s Will\, while at the same time embracing genuine surrender and reliance on the irrefutable power of love\,” says author and retreat leader Regina Sara Ryan. \nThe insecurities of our times draw us inward or back to our churches. In prayer groups and retreats of all kinds we are looking for comfort and consolation\, for spiritual direction\, or for answers to the eternal questions that have always challenged humanity. This book is a valued contribution in that search. This 10th anniversary edition is fully revised\, with several completely new chapters including: “The High Cost of Forgiveness”-a subject that challenges everyone-and “Praying on the Subway\,” about how our generally busy and often chaotic lives can provide us with a constant impetus for blessing others. \n  \nRegister here \n
