Description
Pause for Thought: Making Time for Prayer, Jesus, and God This book offers new themes of reflection in the areas of prayer, Jesus, and God, providing opportunities for prayerful exploration. The author presents six images of what prayer is like, along with sample texts for practicing prayer. The book then delves into the story of Jesus, examining key episodes from his ministry, including the annunciation, nativity, transfiguration, and Last Supper. It also proposes "pauses for thought" on the passion, resurrection, and risen life of Jesus, highlighting the differences between the four Gospels' narratives. This book is designed to help individuals, ministers, and members of religious institutes pause regularly to reflect on their faith, seeking comfort in the God of all comfort and guidance through the various seasons of life.
