Extra informatie A LAYMAN'S GUIDE TO MENTAL PRAYER IS JUST THAT. It is a book to help aid all men and women in the practice of mental prayer. Whether you are a beginner or proficient, you can use this book as a resource to foster growth in your interior life. Broken into two parts, this book is first meant to teach the reader about the importance of mental prayer and the different ways of practicing it according to St. Teresa of Avila. Then, after the reader has a good understanding of the methods of mental prayer, part two consists of 300 days of meditation material based on what the reader learned in part one. Each day’s meditation has a bible verse, an excerpt from Imitation of Christ and a daily prayer to accompany part one with a practical application. This way the reader quickly and easily learns how to start and progress in mental prayer and can build a daily devotional habit by using the additional mental prayer resources. PART ONE In part one of this book, we follow Peter Rohrbach as he leads us through the teachings of mental prayer according to St. Teresa of Avila, a Doctor of the Church and a Doctor of Prayer. In this part, the reader will learn the ins and outs to becoming a "contemplative" and fostering an interior life with God. Mr. Rohrbach will walk the reader through the three methods of practicing mental prayer along with the practicality of developing a habit of mental prayer. He addresses where distractions and aridities come from and how to handle them, other crucial aids to support spiritual progress, and advises the readers on higher forms of prayer and how to know whether or not the reader is experiencing them. PART TWO In part two of this book, we have compiled and added 300 days of accompanying meditation material as a practical tool for the reader to easily implement the teachings of St. Teresa of Avila as stated in part one. Included in these meditations are a majority of the Gospel passages and the entire Imitation of Christ book by Thomas À Kempis.
