Search - When in Doubt, Sing : Prayer in Daily Life

When in Doubt Sing Prayer in Daily Life
Author: Jane Redmont

In When in Doubt, Sing, Jane Redmont will forever change the way you think about prayer. Without rules, without rigid doctrine, this book will enhance your prayer life--whether you pray daily, have stopped praying, have just begun praying, or have never prayed at all. Redmont, a minister, activist, and theologian, offers new ways to deep... more »en your spirituality and commune with God. Drawing on her own prayer life--as well as the prayer experiences and stories of friends and strangers, young and old, male and female, Orthodox, Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Buddhist, and agnostic--Redmont explores both the gifts of diverse communities and the individuality of prayer, stressing that what is effective and meaningful for one person might not be so for another. She implores you to forget what you've learned if it no longer works for you, but to remember the traditions and practices that nourish and sustain you. From praying with the body and with music, through writing or mediation, and teaching children to pray, to praying during times of anger, doubt, hope, depression, or overwhelming joy, Redmont offers a fresh perspective on the variety of traditional and new prayer experiences. Personal, practical, and warmly written, When in Doubt, Sing is a joy and an invaluable guide to enlivening your spiritual life. This book is for you if you consider yourself a Christian who prays. It is also for you if you do not. You may be active--newly or lifelong--in a congregation, church, parish, meeting house, or other assembly for worship. Or you may have left behind the church of your childhood and adolescence but not your spiritual institutions, or they may evoke in you little besides anger and frustration. In any case, you pray--or, in some deep part of your being, in the heart of your heart, there is a longing for a relationship with God, or for a state beyond those "standing in the Presence." This book is also for you if you live outside the Christian tradition and are exercising the virtue of curiosity. I hope it will speak words of welcome to all those who read it. It is meant to offer an experience of hospitality, just as I believe that God extends to human beings a divine and inexhaustible welcome: the door is always open, the table always set, the arms flung wide, outstretched.
