I thought it was time that all of my readers got to see my spiritual side. God is my very good friend and I tell Him that I love Him every morning before starting my day. My faith has brought me through many dark days and I'm forever grateful for my many blessings.
What's really kind of funny about this book is its history with me. It was given to me by my dear friend, April. When I opened it up, out fell a prescription for Percoset written by the dentist about 3 years ago after having a root canal. Why I would have stuck a prescription in this book or any book for that matter, is a mystery.
And then I started reading. It is about how to develop a deeper and more meaningful prayer life. The author uses examples from ancient traditions. The one driving theme however, is that we need to feel our pain and work though 'a dark night of the soul' in order to face our deepest fears. Facing my dependence on alcohol was one of those very dark nights that seemed to last for years. That this book came from April also made me face the pain of losing her friendship over something stupid. And for that prescription. I guess I worked through that physical pain without the help of drugs. Pain takes on many different faces in our lives.
If you're looking for spiritual guidance on how to take your prayer life to a different level, Secrets of the Lost Mode of Prayer will give you plenty to think about. God's waiting to talk to you.
