Praying Our Experiences: An Invitation to Open Our Lives to God

We all struggle with how to pray, but what if we could pray by bringing to God the ordinary experiences of our lives? In this revised and expanded edition of a spiritual classic, Christian Brother Joseph Schmidt shows us how our experiences - and even our distractions - can become the content of our prayer. More than 100,000 readers have already benefited from the spiritual guidance that Brother Schmidt offers as he leads us to the very heart of prayer: union with God. "No matter how old we are or where we find ourselves—whether new on the religious scene or a veteran of the battles of recent decades—the insights in this book will be helpful in our life of prayer.” --Fr. Benedict J. Groeschel, CFR, speaker and author, "The Virtue Driven Life" Joseph F. Schmidt, FSC, is a lecturer, spiritual director, and counselor at Sangre de Cristo Center, an international sabbatical program located near Santa Fe, New Mexico. He is the author of "Everything Is Grace: The Life and Way of Thérèse of Lisieux" and "Praying with Thérèse of Lisieux", both published by The Word Among Us Press.
