Praying Through Psalms: A Guide for Contemplative Prayer Using Anglican Prayer Beads

by Cindy Hamilton, Benjamin Fischer (Editor)

For over two thousand years, the Psalms established the primary content and basic rhythm of prayer for the Hebrews and the emerging Christian Church. Medieval Christians shaped both public and private worship around praying the Psalter, developing tools like prayer beads to help focus their prayers.Modern Christians have largely lost an understanding of how to pray the Psalms, or even the knowledge of how to approach them. Praying through Psalms presents 50 psalms edited especially for use with the tactile aid of Anglican prayer beads.Not merely a theory of prayer, this book guides the reader through praying and responding to God’s own invitation to speak to him using his own Word.Enter the practice of contemplative prayer with beads, and find your heart shaped and life transformed by an ancient practice. Let your prayer life go deeper!

I'm new to using prayer beads and this book was such a helpful tool in learning! I have loved using the beads to enter into prayer with my body as well as my mind and spirit. I found myself so emotionally touched reading the Psalms in a new way! Highly recommend!
