Beginner's Guide to Contemplative Prayer
This is an excellent beginner's guide to contemplative prayer and it is also a joy to read. "Listening to God" may be especially helpful to individuals from an evangelical tradition who feel drawn to the presence of God in prayer but have been taught to be suspicious of contemplative prayer. The author (the wife of a minister) comes from precisely this sort of background and addresses the biblical issues along with spiritual issues and practical suggestions for how to get started. Her faith shines through the pages of the and it's worth reading for its uplifting qualities alone.

Encouragement: anyone can pray!

A fantastic pick-me-up for anyone struggling with their prayer life (and one I must re-read!)
