Click here for our low price guarantee Binding Type: Paperback Published: May 2007 Annotation: Combating their distorted sense of time and space, anyone with addictions will find comfort in this hourly structure that nourishes them from the start of the day, through their working hours, and into the safety and peace of nighttime. Praying Throughout the Day uses the format of the Church's Liturgy of the Hours as a framework for people with addictions to pray their way through each day, hour by hour. Guided by Scripture and the saints, readers will become immersed in salvation history and empowered to move from one struggle to the next. This book combines the best wisdom of spiritual formation, i.e., regularity in prayer, with modern methods of addiction recovery, and will appeal to those with addictions of all kinds. In addition to those with addictions or in self-help programs, this book will be most useful to counselors, retreat directors, pastoral ministers, chaplains, and all healing professionals. |
