As soon as you start to pray your mind begins to wander, you are disrupted by background noise. Before you know it, quiet communication with the Lord is replaced with dozens of thoughts running through your head. You want to have a deeper and more meaningful prayer life, but you can't stay focused. If you are one of the millions who have attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, "nervous energy," or you just can't sit still, this book is for you. <P>William Tenny-Brittian, himself diagnosed with adult ADHD, shows us that there are more ways to pray than with our mouths and minds. Prayer has long had an action component to it. One of the most ancient prayer actions is anointing the head with oil. There are many ways we can pray that involve our senses and our bodies. Journaling, skipping rocks, drawing, singing, touching, dancing, even walking can be acts of prayer. William Tenny-Brittian goes back to ancient times and into the techno-generation to share ten types of kinesthetic prayer that will help even the most fidgety connect with God. He has filled Prayer for People Who Can't Sit Still with ideas, easy-to-follow instructions, and ways to adapt kinesthetic prayer to most any situation and "personal limitation." Kinesthetic prayer can also have profound effects on the prayer life of children and youth. Prayer for People Who Can't Sit Still is a valuable resource in children's and youth ministry, helping these action-oriented age groups to find ways build relationships with God. <P>A relationship takes time together, says William Tenny-Brittian. How can we build a serious relationship with anyone, let alone God, if we only spend a few minutes a day with them? That time together doesn't have to be sit-still time, though. If some of the best time we spend with our spouses, children, and friends is spent doing things together, why wouldn't that be true of our time with God? Prayer for People Who Can't Sit Still is written to help you spend more time and more meaningful time with God. 1803402 3 2005 Prayer For People Who Can't Sit Still total:2|4:2| 2 8 2 2 4 0 false false Sun Jul 06 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Jun 09 08:53:04 -0700 2008 Sun Jul 06 19:01:38 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Thu Jul 24 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Jul 27 17:55:51 -0700 2008 Sun Jul 27 17:57:06 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=1804197
