Sabbath School for a New Generation

Among Seventh Day Adventists, Sabbath School is a time for discussion and learning. It is the belief of this site that Sabbath School should be an exciting venue for the discussion of new ideas, instead of rehashing old arguments. So welcome to a virtual Sabbath School, a Sabbath School for a new generation.

Beginning to Pray

I just finished reading "Beginning to Pray" by Anthony Bloom. Its a very good practical guide on how to pray from a Russian Orthodox perspective. Bloom writes beautifully and very richly and he has many good ideas. We must realize that we are outsiders alienated from God. If we want to find God we need to look inside ourselves rather than way up somewhere in the heavens. We must be willing to give up everything in our quest. In addition he does speak some about managing time. As far as I know the book is out of print, however religion-online.org has a section on prayer that might be of help as well.
