Grow closer to God through six weeks of prayer focused on a specific spiritual topic. Since their original release in the late 1980s, the Take and Receive prayer-book series has sold more than 150,000 copies, and its five themed books are hailed as classics in the Ignatian prayer tradition. The first two books in the series are being repackaged and reprinted by Loyola Press. Love: A Guide for Prayer and Forgiveness: A Guide for Prayer provide topic-based opportunities for people to grow deeper in their relationship with God through prayer. The theme of each volume directly correlates with a segment of the Spiritual Exercises, though no previous experience with the Exercises is needed to benefit from these books. Covering 36 days over a six-week period, each day offers scriptural passages with commentary, followed by a suggested approach to prayer for that day. Especially helpful is a section at the beginning of the book that explains the different types of solitary prayer that readers will be asked to engage in throughout the six weeks, such as meditation, contemplation, and centering prayer. Ideal for all who desire a closer relationship with God, these books help us reimagine what it means to pray and help us see with new eyes God’s presence and activity in our daily lives.

A brief guide on how this spiritual practice can enrich your life. Jesus teaches us to come before God with humble hearts, boldly offering our thanksgivings and concerns to God or simply listening for God's voice in our lives and in the world. Whether in thought, word or deed, individually or corporately, when we pray we invite and dwell in God's loving presence. Jesus often removed himself from the crowds to quiet himself and commune with God. He gave us examples of how to pray, including the Lord's Prayer. "Will you continue in the prayers?" "I will with God's help." This series of seven Little Books of Guidance are designed for you to discover how following certain practices can help you follow Jesus more fully in your daily life.

After many years of struggle trying to understand what it was that God wanted me to do with my life, I came to the realizationthat we are all given different gifts and that God will lead us to do Hiss Will if we place our total trust in Him. I have always prayed all the regular prayers that I was taught while growing up, and I read many booklets that contained wonderful writings from other people. These were all sufficient at the time and fulfilled my need for prayer. As my spirit grew with love for God so was the need for other kinds of prayer. And not knowing where to find it I began to talk to God, just to talk to Him, and pour out my love for Him as if He was standing right in front of me. As a result, my love for Him grew stronger and stronger, and my need to tell Him how I felt grew as well. In the last fey years, I decided to put in writing my prayers and to share with others the great gift of love I have received Every prayer is a testament of love, and humility. I hope that you, dear reader, are inspired by them and feel the same love that I felt, when I wrote these “Prayers With Love” will help you to attain eternal salvation — by dying sincerely repentant and, therefore, in the State of Grace. Be mindful at all times that: “For many are called, but few chosen.” (Matt. 20:16, 22:14). (Douay- Rheims, the true Holy Bible.)

The first title for this book was called My Prayer to My Love. It has always been a book from me to God and from Him back to me. It was 1999, I was away at Bible College in Sydney, Australia and God started giving me beautiful prayers and asking me to write them down and re-read them over to myself after I was done. When I would re-read the prayers I found I was weeping every time. He was expressing to me, through my own writing, how much He loved me. So much! It was then that He started leading me to put the prayers together in a book and to share the prayers with others. I gave them to only a handful of people, and watched as God started blessing their own prayer walks through these prayers. I realized that the prayers He was giving me were not sole for my benefit, growth and encouragement, but were meant for far more than just me. I feel honored that I am now able, 10 years later, to share these prayers with you. I pray they minister to you during different seasons of your walk and relationship with Him. And that they help you to grow closer and more intimate with Him, as you seek Him and His presence for every facet of your life. He really does love youso much!
