Prayer is often perceived as a difficult; "place-less" exercise in which we close our eyes and seek God beyond our everyday experience in an invisible; ethereal realm. It does not have to be this way; however. Prayer can have its own sense of place - landscapes which we can inhabit and explore; and meet God as tangibly as we might meet a fellow traveller. In this beautifully illustrated book; Margaret Silf explores nine landscapes of prayer; both classic and modern: the garden; the mountain; the seashore; the forest; the river; the urban jungle; the desert; the cave; and the night sky. All are fruitful areas for self-discovery; inviting us to connect with the mystery of God in our lives. Margaret Silf is a writer and retreat leader. She is the author of the highly-acclaimed Landmarks: An Ignatian Journey; Taste and See: Adventuring into Prayer; and One Hundred Wisdom Stories.
