Book Review - The Q & A Guide to Mental Prayer- Kindle Edition by Connie Rossini - A Gem of a Book!
But prayer can become complicated and even unsettling.
What is mental prayer? What is contemplative prayer? How does one progress from
one form of prayer to another? How would one know which contemporary prayer
models, even those popular among Catholics, are not really authentic forms of
prayer?
Many of us - prayer novices and veterans alike - are searching for answers to these and a
myriad of other questions. Nearly everyone can use guidance as to how to pray,
how to discern what they experience during prayer and how to know if it is
really God who is speaking to their hearts. Some may not know where to turn for
accurate answers to questions they may have and/or know what authentic prayer
resources and authors they should consult.
Thankfully, author, Connie Rossini’s latest book, The
Q & A Guide to Mental Prayer, is a concise, sound and reliable guidebook
and resource for those seeking answers to questions about prayer, especially mental
prayer. I have no doubt readers of this little gem will soon discover or reinvigorate a path
toward a richer and more fulfilling prayer life.
This book is a resource all Catholics should have and
one whose readers will frequently pick up and use not only for their own
spiritual benefit but to help others who might have questions about prayer. In
fact, while reading an advance copy of The Q & A Guide to Mental Prayer, I
was able to answer a very specific question posed to me by an acquaintance by
referring to one answer among the 125 questions Connie answers in her book.
The author has a gift to bring the truths and
spiritual treasures of our Catholic faith to life. Her Carmelite
spirituality and life of study, prayer and teaching have prepared her well for the work she
has done.
I highly recommend this book to everyone and thank
Connie Rossini for this great gift. It is available for pre-order on Kindle here.
