Gary Jansen has accomplished what no other spiritual author before him has: explained the Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius of Loyola in language I understand! He educates, entertains, and inspires with his charming stories and simple prose.
Gary Jansen offers us a simple and powerful truth: Give God fifteen minutes each day, and you will begin to experience God in every moment. With compassion, wisdom, humility, and practical simplicity, Gary Jansen shows that by making a small space in your life each day for prayer and contemplation, your entire life will become filled with the presence of God. Read The 15 minute Prayer Solution and you will learn how to experience a deep and fulfilling relationship with the Divine Beloved.
Think you don't have time to pray? You'll reconsider after reading this gentle but persuasive invitation to a Spirit-led life. In The Fifteen-Minute Prayer Solution, Gary Jansen blends evocative imagery, intimate personal stories and concrete suggestions to help even weary seekers rediscover the joy of finding God in all things.
Prayer is not just for the saints, but for you. Gary Jansen's beautiful book is filled with simple, how-to advice on jump-starting your relationship with God. Using insights from the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius Loyola, Jansen offers straight-forward advice on how to begin, or deepen, your relationship with the One who loved us into being.
Gary Jansen's powerful book will send you into a spiritual awakening. Start reading The Fifteen-Minute Prayer Solution and you will truly desire to love others in a new way. He not only writes a beautiful work, but more importantly, he lives the message.
Gary Jansen’s The 15-Minute Prayer Solution is a book that fills a real need. This book takes people where they are in the spiritual life—busy, overloaded, and feeling empty—and teaches them how to pray in the midst of a revolving-door world. Jansen takes the best of the tradition and shows people how to make it real today. To understand the full fruit of this very modern and very traditional primer on prayer, this book ought to be discussed with others as well as read alone.
Whether you are a veteran or a novice in prayer, this jewel of a book holds inspiration for us all.
Brilliant! Whether you are a beginning or a veteran of the spiritual life I think you will find Gary Jansen's approach immensely practical.
Many people know about God, but few have actually encountered him. In this much-needed book, Gary Jansen helps us take our faith from a dry intellectual exercise to a powerful personal encounter.
I love this book. Gary Jansen has an endearing, attention-deficit quality that lets him deliver big lessons not only painlessly, but humorously. He goes deep, and takes us readers deep, without even a whiff of pious unction. For Jansen, a tattooed foot on the subway is the start of a mystical flight. By the end of the story, we know that these everyday distractions should be graces for us as well.
