The pace and assumptions of modern life often make the pursuing things of the spirit difficult. The Ground of God: Contemplative Prayer for the Contemporary Spirit leads the reader to a rhythmic cycle of read, pray, examine. It's four sections work together to encourage growth in one's spiritual life through this cycle so that the reader is drawn step by step into an active and wholly engaging spirituality. Living a prayer filled, bible based life leads the reader to ask the question: What on earth is so commanding? Who is in command?
This is such a lovely, thoughtful book of discovery into the nature of faith, love, family and gratitude. So enlightening and well written. I highlighted so many passages that I might as well read the whole book again, which I hardly ever do. It is a rare treasure of a book that gave me new insight and deep appreciation for the gift of faith, and the holy ground we walk on throughout our earthly journey. Read it soon; you will be so glad you did!
