Summary: Great Intro to Lectio Divina
Review: I have used this book repeatedly with groups to teach Lectio Divina. The case study contained in the book is a small group trying to learn lectio, struggling a bit, and asking questions. It allows typical participant questions to come up in a safe manner. If you buy only one book on lectio, buy this one!

Summary: Simple way to learn lectio divina
Review: I have used this book to teach lectio divina to several groups. It is a user-friendly way for those completely unfamiliar with lectio divina to get started and to find answers to their questions. The book is based on a case study of a small group trying to learn the technique, including their successes and their struggles. A great place to start in learning this wonderful way to listen to God in scripture.

Summary: The Bible as Prayer
Review: Norvene Vest offers a wonderful introduction to an ancient tradition of prayer known as lectio divina. This type of prayer works well for small groups--I am using it in a weekly gathering of adults and we find the process one that opens us to God. I have also used the process with a group of youth who responded passionately to this process.Vest's work is very helpful. Not only does she describe the approach, but she tells the stories of a small prayer group that tries this approach to illustrate more deeply the process. This is a great resource for small groups and for individuals who want to learn a new way of praying.
