Synopsis
Rooted in the desire to communicate the richness and diversity of prayer, this innovative book considers various models of understanding within the Christian prayer tradition. Likening the life of prayer to a tree sown as seed by God in the human heart, Steven Chase suggests five models of prayer that are linked to the Tree of Life metaphor: prayer as conversation (deep roots), prayer as relationship (solid trunk), prayer as journey (branches), prayer as transformation (new leaves), and prayer as presence (flowers and fruits). For each of the models the author discusses the actual practice of prayer and offers critical reflection. Pastors, spiritual formation leaders, and all those seeking to learn more about prayer will appreciate this book.
