Deeper: Contemplative Prayer for Charismatic Christians

Many of us long for greater intimacy with God in prayer. Stefan Smart's new book, which is available now, will be a great help to many people in this respect.

Called, Deeper: Contemplative Prayer for Charismatic Christians, it is a very simple but practical guide to spending quality time in God's presence. Written from a solidly biblical perspective, it offers helpful support on how to listen to God - in silence, through reflecting on God's word and through creativity. The book includes a foreword by Joyce Huggett and chapters on Preparing to Pray, Using the Imagination, Praying the Bible and Contemplation and Silence.

Pete Greig, Director of 24-7 Prayer, writes: "This is an excellent introduction to a vital and timely subject and written well, from deep experience. The book is honest, practical, engaging, inspiring; a wonderfully and unapologetically simple introduction to the deep things of prayer. I wish I had read it years ago."
