Praying Scripture for a Change: An Introduction to Lectio Divina

Many Christians find prayer difficult and, as a result, do not do much of it. The fact is, many simply do not know how to pray. In this short book, written for a popular audience by well-known Catholic biblical scholar Dr. Tim Gray, we discover the secret of the saints which can enable us to enter into a lively dialogue with God. Their secret: the ancient art of Lectio Divina (divine, or sacred reading), which is reading, meditating on, and praying the Scriptures. Here, we discover that we don t need a mystic gene or divine epiphany to hear God; we simply need to take up the Bible and read.
