Today's Prayer and Meditation


Book Description

"Pray without ceasing" is more easily said than done. Prayer and meditation are a foundational aspect of a Christian walk. As we work to make our lives a prayer, the depth of our talks with God go further than simple requests to spiritual introspection and reflection, looking both inward and outward for answers that help us grow. Today's Prayer and Meditation features 365 prayers that dig deep into the pressing questions in one's spiritual walk. "I have known Phil for many years and can witness to the fact that his daily prayers are exactly the way he lives his life. The messages of each prayer to God takes us to higher levels of thought and spiritual understanding. Even more important, the prayers focus our thoughts to God and His mission and purpose for us." "As a professor, he showed love and concern to all of his students. He selflessly helped beyond their studies and mentored and coached many with addictions, and severe personal issues. As my friend, he has been supportive, and more important, always in prayer for me, my family, and for those in the world around us. I highly recommend joining with what he calls, 'the Prayer Warriors' and praying daily." - Mark Conroy, pastor, Coastal Church, Daytona Beach, Florida




Daily Reflections


Book Description

This is a book of reflections by A.A. members for A.A. members. It was first published in 1990 to fulfill a long-felt need within the Fellowship for a collection of reflections that moves through the calendar year--one day at a time. Each page contains a reflection on a quotation from A.A. Conference-approved literature, such as Alcoholics Anonymous, Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, As Bill Sees It and other books. These reflections were submitted by members of the A.A. Fellowship who were not professional writers, nor did they speak for A.A. but only for themselves, from their own experiences in sobriety. Thus the book offers sharing, day by day, from a broad cross section of members, which focuses on the Three Legacies of Alcoholics Anonymous: Recovery, Unity and Service. Daily Reflections has proved to be a popular book that aids individuals in their practice of daily meditation and provides inspiration to group discussions even as it presents an introduction for some to A.A. literature as a whole.
