About this book
Using the senses to pray is an enriching experience. Prayer in our various worship traditions is often words-based, whether spoken, read or heard. The sensory-based prayers in 5 Senses to Prayer provide alternative entry points to a prayerful approach to everyday life, using objects and activities available around the home or able to be found or purchased easily. Engaging the senses, the book offers prayers based on Sight, Taste, Touch, Smell and Hearing. The prayers are grouped according to sense and then type of prayer: Praise & Adoration, Thanksgiving, Confession, Intercession, Petition/Supplication and Responding. Additional practical and creative information is provided alongside each prayer, designed to enrich the possibilities and ways the prayer can be used in a variety of settings.
Caroline Bindon has a passion for all-age worship, storytelling and creativity.
