Open

A guide to experiencing God
in the every day

Greg Paul

Pre-Order Free Chapter

The simplest, most transformative prayer you may ever pray: the five senses prayer.

This book invites you to a simple practice of prayer and awareness that can turn each ordinary workday into a deepening spiritual journey. No matter where you are or how busy you get, your five senses are always "on," your mind and heart responsive to what you perceive. These channels of awareness can take you deeper into God's great mystery if you practice the discipline of submitting them to the One who is closer than you imagine.

The beauty of such a contemplative path is that you can follow it anywhere-alone or in company, in quiet meditation or amid the bustle of your craziest day.

Moment by moment, you invite God to open you up-eyes, ears, nostrils, hands and mouth, heart and mind. And moment by moment, as you open yourself, you'll find yourself closer to God's grace-filled and wide-open heart. Simply Open.
