A Simple, Life-Changing Prayer is a valuable and thoughtful book, and a very practical one, which can be put with confidence into the hands of anyone who wishes to learn to pray the Examen and to find the presence and action of God in their lives.” - Andrea Kelly, Thinking Faith.
For most people most of the time, prayer is hard. it is especially difficult - not to mention unsatisfying - when people experience it as formal, dry and repetitious. But what might happen if you discovered a simple prayer that changed all that? What if you discovered a prayer that changed you?
What makes the prayer so powerful is its capacity to dispel any notion that God is somewhere ""up there,"" detached from our day-to-day tasks and concerns. Instead, the examen leads us into a relationship with a God who desires to be personally caught up in the lives of those whom he created.
By following five simple yet powerful steps for praying the examen, we can encounter the God who, as Scripture tells us, ""is not far from each one of us"" -- the God whose presence in our lives can make all the difference in the world."
