Prayerfulness: Awakening to the Fullness of Life

Now available in paperback, this transformative guide by Robert J. Wicks—therapist, speaker, and bestselling author—teaches you how to awaken to life's fullness by living consciously in the present moment. Wicks masterfully weaves Christian contemplation with Buddhist mindfulness to help you cultivate a receptive, reflective approach to daily living. Inside you'll discover seven practical steps to deepen your prayerfulness, a thirty-day personal retreat, and an innovative spiritual mindfulness questionnaire designed to reveal how fully present you are to life. Grounded in psychological wisdom and spiritual tradition, this manual guides you through essential practices: creating meaningful rituals, embracing life's fragility, meeting challenges with courage, and transforming anger into wisdom. Thirty days of reflections, quotations, and contemplative questions support you in building or renewing a sustainable prayer practice. A clear, accessible resource for anyone seeking to live with greater awareness, intention, and connection to the sacred.
