CP 318


• What are the Jewish roots of the Lord's Prayer? 
• Where is the "dark night of the soul" in the Bible?
• Prayer, fasting and almsgiving in the Bible.

  • The path of following Jesus is an ancient and storied spiritual tradition. Yet many believers are not familiar with the three major forms of prayer and the three stages of spiritual growth that exist to bring them closer to God.

    In his most personal book yet, Dr. Brant Pitre draws on the riches of the Bible, the words of Jesus, and the writings of mystics across the centuries to shed light on the mystery—and wonder—of the spiritual life. Starting with the age-old belief that the path of prayer is not only informative but transformative, Dr. Pitre explores:

    • the scriptural roots of vocal, meditative, and contemplative prayer
    • the purgative, illuminative, and unitive stages of spiritual growth
    • the spiritual exercises of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving
    • the Jewish roots of the Lord’s Prayer
    • Lectio Divina: how to pray with the Bible
    • seven vices and their seven opposing virtues
    • the battle of prayer: how to deal with difficulty and distractions
    • the “dark night of the soul” in the Scriptures

    Full of sacred truths, contemplative insights, and practical steps, Introduction to the Spiritual Life is a veritable biblical road map of the spiritual landscape that enables us to follow Jesus as our primary guide.

Intro to the Spiritual Life

I am thoroughly enjoying this introduction to Walking the Path of Prayer with Jesus. I have read a few other books on this subject, but struggled through them. Dr. Pitre gives a comprehensive but easy to read look at the Jewish Roots of each topic, Jesus and that topic, and Christian Tradition. Anyone looking into growing in the Spiritual Life should definitely read this book.

Spiritual Life Walking the path of prayer

Service and communication great. The book was in great condition. However, one page has what almost appears to have a bite out of it. Looks torn or has maybe been caught in something.

Such an INSPIRED read

I gave this book to a colleague who was a professor at the University of Pittsburgh with whom I worked with. He has been a Catholic all his life and was in awe of the explanations of the spiritual life that Dr Pitre writes about. He was very appreciative of receiving such an ‘inspired’ book.
