Seeing is Believing

Seeing is Believing - Gregory A. Boyd

Seeing Is Believing by Gregory A. Boyd, subtitled Experience Jesus through Imaginative Prayer, invites readers to rediscover prayer. If you're like most people, you consider prayer an obligation: you do it because you feel you should, not because you are passionate about it. The result is often apathy, fatigue or both.

In this book Seeing Is Believing, Boyd shows that Scripture and church tradition speak of a very different experience of prayer. He introduces the centuries-old Christian practice of imaginative prayer and leads the reader to an experience of prayer that is fresh and revolutionary.

Imaginative prayer has deep roots in Christian spirituality. It is best known from the Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius of Loyola, the sixteenth-century founder of the Jesuits, who encouraged believers to picture themselves in scenes from the Gospels: to see, hear and feel what happens, and to meet Jesus there personally. In this way prayer becomes not only something you say, but something you experience. Gregory A. Boyd, an American pastor and theologian, makes this rich tradition accessible to modern readers.

An inspiring book for anyone interested in prayer, Christian spirituality, meditation, Ignatian spirituality and a deeper personal relationship with God.
