Blending insights from Christian contemplative practice and Buddhist mindfulness, Dr. Robert J. Wicks—well-known speaker, therapist, and spiritual guide—introduces what he calls "prayerfulness," a way of being truly in the present to experience God and life in dynamic new ways. Wicks offers a rich array of insights including seven practical steps, a thirty-day retreat, and a Spiritual Mindfulness Questionnaire. This creative combination of ancient wisdom and contemporary psychology is designed to help readers develop a loving, clear, and spiritually balanced outlook. Sample questions from the Spiritual Mindfulness Questionnaire: In your own life, how do you approach the people you meet and the ordinary activities of each day so that they become sacred? What preoccupies you in ways that seem to prevent you from seeing God? Are you someone who listens to others, or do you find that much of the time you are simply hearing them out while waiting for your opportunity to speak? What unfinished business from the past seems to continually intrude upon your present peace, and how do you address it in a prayerful way? When and how do you regularly meditate?
