Learn how to sit at the feet of Jesus through pages of Scripture in this guide from New York Times bestselling author John Mark Comer and the team at Practicing the Way. In an impatient, hurried, and quick-to-critique culture, Scripture can seem dry and tedious—just one more task on our religious to-do list. This approach is tragic because we miss out on the life-giving experience of sitting at the feet of Jesus. But as we learn to read with hearts open to Jesus and with an awareness of Scripture's cultural and literary backdrop, we can experience it as a channel to God. This Companion Guide to the Scripture Practice from Practicing the Way offers spiritual exercises, reflection questions, and guided readings. Featuring four engaging video sessions, the Scripture Practice is designed to be run with your community and is available online for free. This guide will help you: Approach Scripture with the heart of an apprentice Integrate the Hebrew practice of biblical meditation Embrace the cultural and literary depth of Scripture for fruitful study Develop an “inner library” through the memorization of Scripture Learn how to read Scripture in such a way that the presence of Jesus shapes not only your thinking but also the kind of person you become.

A new way to read the Bible. Spiritual disciplines are simply ways to open ourselves to God. They help us become aware of the many ways God speaks to us and provide us with ways to respond to God. This book explores and explains how the historical disciplines and perspectives of the Christian faith can deepen both our walk with God and our community with others. Reading the Bible is something that most of us are familiar with. Some even do it regularly. But do we really think about how we read and respond to Scripture? How deeply do we allow ourselves to be impacted by it? Contemplative Bible reading (or lectio divina, as it is often called) is an ancient method of approaching Scripture. Consisting of four parts, this method begins with the selected biblical passage and moves to meditating, praying, and contemplating what God is revealing through the Bible. Many of us tend to think of meditation as something done individually, but reflecting on Scripture in a small group invites us to act and encourages us to share with others how God is calling us to respond. Contemplative Bible Reading examines this spiritual discipline and invites your small group to approach Scripture in a new and challenging way. By exploring different passages and learning to hear God's voice in them, this guide will help you meditate and act on the truth of the Bible.

If you’re looking to learn how to get the most out of prayer, this book is indispensable. As St. Augustine notes, When we pray, we speak to God; when we read Scripture, God speaks to us. The key to enriching our prayer is learning the language of Christianity, and the most effective way to learn the language of Christianity is an ancient technique known as lectio divina (“divine reading”). In these pages, you will learn: ● How God speaks directly to each of us in Scripture. ● How to overcome the obstacles to a consistent and fruitful prayer life. ● Why the fourfold method of lectio divina leads us directly into the heart of contemplative prayer. ● Strategies for reading - and praying - the Bible fruitfully. ● What Christian meditation is and how it differs from non-Christian approaches. ● How everyone - not just saints and mystics - can truly reach mystical union with God. In this succinct book, Catholic theologian and biblical scholar Dr. Tim Gray walks you through the Bible and the wisdom of the saints to reveal the practical steps of this great treasure of our Tradition. Learning the simple steps of lectio divina will provide a practical and effective way for you to enhance your prayer life through the power of God’s Word.

The Bible is meant to be read in the church, by the church, as the church. Following the example of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Derek Taylor argues that we should regard the reading of Scripture as an inherently communal exercise of discipleship. In conversation with other theologians, Taylor shares how this approach to Scripture can engender a faithful hermeneutical community.
