As 2009 approached, New Year's resolutions were the last thing on River Jordan's mind. Her sons were both about to go off to war and all she could do was pray for their safety and hope to maintain her strength, until she unexpectedly came upon the perfect New Year's resolution-one that focused on others instead of herself. She would pray for a complete stranger every single day for a year. In Praying for Strangers, River Jordan tells of her amazing personal journey of uncovering the needs of the human heart as she prayed her way through the year for people she had never met before. The discovery that Jordan made along the journey was not simply that her prayers touched the lives of these strangers, but that the unexpected connections she made with other people would be a profound experience that would change her life forever
In The Ancient Way, River Jordan explores doorways to thin places made accessible through the Celtic spiritual tradition. With her warm and personal approach, she explores a set of practices that help form a path for a deeper spiritual awakening. Readers will be moved to renew their faith by incorporating the basic components that make Celtic Christianity something authentic and pertinent to modern life and an over-busy culture. At the close of Jordan's previous book, Confessions of a Christian Mystic, she writes of the thin place she's been seeking--that mystical and divine doorway into the presence of God--as being inside of her all along. In this follow-up book, she explores ways that door can be made accessible to everyone to inform and transform readers' daily lives.
