Bøker av Ruth Burrows OCD

There is a seismic shift necessary from being religious to being a true disciple. It is an abiding sorrow to the author that many faithful religious people, even regular church goers, understand so little of the great truths they so sincerely profess to believe, especially among young people. This title presents the contemplative's perspective.

Suitable for lay people about contemplation and the life of prayer.

Offers a personal narrative, a reflection on the spiritual history of two gifted people, St Teresa and St John of the Cross. This book speaks out of the Carmelite tradition, stating that a strong interest in Carmelite theology of prayer and the spiritual life has continued.

Prayer is a word we take for granted. Ought we to do so? What do we mean by prayer? What does the word mean in the Christian context? This book addresses such questions.
