<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Today, the Church is experiencing a revival of interest in the Bible. The knowledge and practice of lectio divina are becoming more widespread, not only in monastic and religious communities, but also among all the people of God. Archbishop Magrassi's book is a classic on the subject. It introduces us to an atmosphere of faith in which the Church, for twelve centuries, was nourished on the Word of God. Out of his vast knowledge of the Fathers and medieval monastic authors, Magrassi has created a synthesis of the elements that make up the unique and singular experience of lectio divina.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Much more than a spiritual exercise, through the art of <i>lectio divina</i> we become a biblical people. <i>Praying the Bible</i> offers an invitation to the practice of sacred reading as a whole way of life by which we are conformed to the living Word of God by the presence and power of the Holy Spirit.Michael Downey, author of Trappist<br><br>This book can be a wonderful addition to parish libraries where many laity still work hard at incorporating 'Lectio Divina' into aspects of daily life - and useful to 'Lectio' professionals as well.Crux<br>
