Forty Days to a Closer Walk with God: the Practice of Centering Prayer

Forty Days to a Closer Walk with God: the Practice of Centering Prayer by John David Muyskens is designed to be used for forty days with biblical meditation for each day introducing a method of entering contemplative prayer.

The method called "Centering Prayer" is a way to be quiet in communion with God.

For each day there are a couple of pages of readings with suggestions for prayer and scripture meditation. Often the author's own experiences learning contemplative prayer are recounted.

The author is a retired minister of the Reformed Church in America and currently a member of the Church of the Servant Christian Reformed Church in Grand Rapids.

The book is published by Upper Room Books, Nashville, TN. It can be ordered online from www.UpperRoom.org/bookstore or www.contemplativeoutreach.org and clicking on the bookstore.
