Journey to the Heart: Centering Prayer for Children - Paperback
by Frank Jelenek (Author), Ann Boyajian (Illustrator)
The first guide to a contemplative prayer practice for children, Journey to the Heart both instructs and inspires.
Centering prayer is a way of opening our whole being to God, beyond thoughts, words, and emotions. It is simple and practical--a way of preparing heart and mind to receive the gift of intimate relationship with God. Jesus said, "When you pray, go to your inner room, close the door, and pray to your Father in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you." (Matthew 6:6) Frank Jelenek shows young children just how to do that! The first guide of its kind for children ages 3-10, Journey to the Heart:Frank X. Jelenek is a member of Thomas Keating's Contemplative Outreach, dedicated to teaching the practice of centering prayer to people of all ages. He works for Scholastic Book Fairs and shares his passion for books and prayer with his grandchildren.
