Gratefulness, The Heart Of Prayer (QuakerBooks)

Gratefulness, The Heart Of Prayer

An Approach To Life In Fullness

BY BROTHER DAVID STEINDL-RAST, FOREWORD BY HENRI NOUWEN

Brief Description:
All prayer is essentially an act of gratitude. Even the prayer of petition that boils up from some agonizing personal need includes, if it is authentic, a stated belief that "God's will be done" - an expression of our utter dependence on God's mercy. "To bless whatever there is, and for no other reason, but simply because it is, that is what we are made for as human beings," says David Steindl-Rast. This book is about prayer and about gratitude. It is also about awareness, and our ability to see into things, discovering the grace that awaits us in everyday life. When we bless things simply because they are, we live life in it's fullness.
