Experiments in Prayer

An Ancient Approach To Life And Prayer: The purpose of life is to live!Just as the purpose of riding a bike is found in its riding, so, too, the purpose of life is discovered in the living of it. Without life, there is nothing: no meaning, no purpose, no anything. Jesus came to bring us life, and He defined such life as having Him and being His and His Father's friend. If the purpose of life is to live, and if real living is enjoying intimate friendship with God, then the ultimate purpose of life must be to enjoy intimate friendship with God. In becoming a friend of God, true life is experienced. Anything less is non-life. Throughout this compilation, Dave Brown has written about an approach to life and prayer that's been explored and practiced for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. In a nutshell, such an approach boils down to just one thing: letting God love us the way He wants. Whether it's living in community with others, praying The Jesus Prayer, or giving one's life away in selfless service to others, it's all really just one and the same thing: letting God love us the way He wants. It is Dave's earnest prayer that, above all else, the Everlasting Father will use this simple and ordinary compilation to illuminate and enrich your life in a grand and extraordinary way.
