Thanks!: Break Ground on Learning How to Pray meets the timeless need for simple instructions, encouragement, and inspiration for the adult babes in Christ beginning their prayer lives. Every person can learn to pray and to hear from Our Lord by connecting to him through communication, communion, and personal relationship. Throughout the lessons, Margaret Calkin teaches us simple prayer, effective prayer, and heartfelt prayer. Using a conversational style, she relates warmly to the reader by weaving humorous and moving tales about her family and friends, focusing on faith and glorifying God. Learn the types of prayer and several methods of prayer, from the very traditional forms to the free flowing styles of the Holy Spirit. Learn how to pray beyond words and to meditate upon the Lord, becoming more aware of his constant presence in your life. Through prayer, become more intimately related to the Father through his son, Jesus Christ. In due course, prayer can become your lifestyle, a manner of living and abiding in the Holy Spirit. It is the connecting link to the heart of Jesus. Use Break Ground as a personal prayer manual or as a teaching text (complete with study questions) for your Bible study group. Prepare for a personal growth experience of your spirit in Christ Jesus. Margaret Calkin has written the perfect book for people who are tired of thinking about praying and ready to do it, and she?s written it clearly, honestly, and with humility. Leaving lots of room for individual preferences, she provides clear guidelines to a soaring life of rich communion with God. Katherine Traynham, Co-author Can You Come Here Where I Am?
