Passionate Prayer

Dr. David Schnarch wrote a landmark book about marriage called "Passionate Prayer." There, he outlines an intimacy that ennobles lovers as they stand before each other, honest and open, separate and connected. This book takes Dr. Schnarch's radical redefinition of intimacy and applies it to prayer, with shocking results. Combining ancient sources and modern thinking on relationship and developmental theory, this volume guides us toward Passionate Prayer, the expression of a mature, intimate relationship with the Divine; prayer that revitalizes us, evokes the fullness of who we are, and leaves us anticipating the next encounter. Or, as Jungian Therapist Thomas Moore put it, "I love the words about a stronger and sharper intimacy applied to praying, about being firm in your own position, about not praying like a wimp."
