Echoing the Story

"Everyone has a story. A story has everyone." In his poetic way, Brady draws one into the story of God. The narrating process of the four movements of his guidebook, a contemporary version of lectio divina, help the participants open their hearts to God's movement and use of them in this world. It is more than an intellectual exercise; it is an experience in placing God at the center of one's life and community. I highly recommend this study as an opportunity to learn from one who is practiced in listening to God and others."

"So often our reading of scripture is from the neck up--we find it, on any particular day, boring or interesting. But what if I was urgently trying to make sense of my life today and these texts might give me some clue? All of a sudden it matters in vital ways. Bryce's book will invite you to see God's story as your story and how that changes everything. Very practical, and doable--the prayer pattern itself is worth the price of the book." Don't read this book--do it."

"What a great gift Dr. Brady Bryce has given to us in teaching us how to listen to God. Dr. Bryce helps us listen to the story of God at work on this planet, as he takes us through the whole of the Bible, helping us see the great themes. Along the way he helps us listen to God's work now, in the present, in and through us and others. This new way of doing small groups blends ancient spirituality (lectio divina) with postmodern love of narrative, while teaching the

spiritual discipline of deep listening."
