Download The Grateful Heart: A Benedictine Monk and Religious Scholar Explores How to Open Your Heart to the Blessings Awaiting AudioBook Free
The fountainhead of all philosophy and religion, teaches Sibling David Steindl-Rast, is our sense of amazement at being on the planet. To mix the gap between doctrine and the divine, we've been given the present of prayer. In The Grateful Center, you will notice Brother David identify prayer not as a dogmatic ritual but as a means of opening to the blessings that await us in everyday activity. Since 1953, when Sibling David retreated to the Support Savior monastery in upstate New York, he has examined what he calling "the lifting up of the real human heart and head to God". In The Grateful Center, he targets the major characteristics of prayer, including: perennial prayer - the internal gesture that is the essence of prayer in all cultures and religions; the progression and record of prayer, like the "prayer house" activity; and the future of prayer. Which has a passion forever, Sibling David inspires a pleasant dialogue that embraces the intellectual as well as the religious.
