Johnson has also heard these comments, which urged him to share from his own personal prayer life, providing his readers a vivid account of how the power of prayer can and will change your life. Filled with intimate examples and prayer practices, He Wakens Meopens a door to new dimensions in your dialogue with God and subsequently leads you to a deeper relationship with Christ, a more personal relationship.
You will learn the techniques of breath prayers and how to create them. Delve into the discipline of lectio divina (divine reading.) and discover how it will help you discern God’s plan for your life. Uncover the significance of praying in community. Recognize the importance of soul friendship and how having a soul friend to share your burdens with helps you through the toughest of times. You will be encouraged to apply these methods to your own spiritual routine thereby experiencing an individual encounter with the Savior.
