Synopsis

At times prayer can seem like hard work or a bit of a mystery. At other times, it's an encounter with the Living God. Wherever you are on the journey of faith, Life Source will encourage a discovery of new-found joy and delight in prayer for novices and old hands alike.

Ideal for Lent, cell or house groups, the course combines Bible study and discussion with a creative, hands-on exploration of five prayer patterns drawn from Christianity's rich heritage. The interactive sessions explore:

• Source of life - prayer as relationship
  
• Source of joy - prayer as enjoying God
  
• Source of light - prayer as listening Source of wholeness - prayer as honesty
  
• Source of love - prayer as care

Each session contains enough material for 90 minutes and includes:

1. Guidelines for group study, with full background notes for leaders
   
2. Interactive activities
   
3. Questions for discussion
   
4. Multi-media ideas e.g. film and music
   
5. Resources for worship
   

Each group member will need a copy of the book.
