Pathway to our hearts,
By
This review is from: Pathway to Our Hearts (Paperback)
Great book. I really enjoyed it, and it really helped me to understand scripture - to turn it from reading the bible to praying the bible. It helped me get so much from the bible - allowed me to hear what God was saying to me. Will reference this book many times. Would recommend to anyone who wants to hear God's voice in the bible.Pathway to Our Hearts: A Simple Approach to Lectio Divina with the Sermon on the Mount

An Instruction Manual for the Christian Life,
By Patrice Fagnant-macarthur - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Pathway to Our Hearts (Paperback)
Archbishop Thomas Collins states "Lectio divina is a prayerful encounter with the word of God. By the 'word of God,' I do not mean simply the text of the Bible; I also mean Christ our Lord." "Pathway to our Hearts: A Simple Approach to Lectio Divina with the Sermon on the Mount" grew out of Collins' experience of lectio divina sessions he held at the Cathedral in Edmonton, Canada. He emphasizes that lectio divina is not the study of Scripture, although such study can be good preparation for it. Rather, lectio divina is an "intimate encounter with the Lord God through the medium of his inspired word in the context of prayer."Each chapter in "Pathway to our Hearts" is designed as a full lectio divina session, focusing on a section of the Sermon on the Mount. Archbishop Collins begins each session with the simple prayer "Speak, Lord, your servant is listening" and then an initial reading of the Scripture passage. He then goes on to offer his reflections on the individual verses. These reflections are truly powerful and insightful. Archbishop Collins invites reader to contemplate the deep meaning of these passages which have become heard so often they are sometimes glossed over. The Sermon on the Mount offers a blueprint for Christian living. It is the heart and soul of Jesus' teaching. The Archbishop delves into what it means to be pure of heart and to root out the evil desires that live within each of us. He offers a discussion of The Lord's Prayer and what it means to truly pray. He talks about the role of anxiety and judgment in our lives and what we should do about them. He encourages us to ask for God's help every day, to remember that "God is God and I am not . . . we acknowledge our reliance on God and on his power to save us." Lastly, we must always choose life. It is the narrow road; it is hard; but it is the choice Christians must make every day. The value of "Pathway to our Hearts" far exceeds its stated purpose. It is much more than a primer on lectio divina - it is an instruction manual for the Christian life. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful

For me, as a person just starting in lectio divina, this is an excellent book -- actually it's probably an excellent book even for someone skilled in this practice. A lot of insights, opinions, that start a chain reaction of reflection. The writing is very accessible.

I had the pleasure of reading this book as my Lenten sacred reading. It's an thoughtful and insightful work on the Sermon on the Mount. As some one who has ADD, I'm not one to finish a book unless I'm totally taken in by it. I finished this book and will most likely read it multiple times. Very engrossing! I highly recommend it!
