Book Reviews of Praying Body and Soul
Book Review: Prayer practices firmly in the Jesuit tradition
Summary: 4 Stars
The current printing of the book has changed the subtitle -Praying Body and Soul: Methods and Practices of Anthony de Mello. If you expect to see stories as in many of his other books, this is not the book you are looking for. Rather this book is more along the lines of Wellsprings i.e. material for guided meditation best done in a group where someone reads the material aloud to the the group rather than an individual interrupting the prayer rhythm to read the next section. If not done in a group, one can at least tape the material.Each exercise set includes a bodily awareness exercise, a focusing statement to set the tone for the exercise of reflection on a Biblical story - reflection in the Ignatian (Jesuit) exercise sense of imagining oneself in the scene - and a concluding quote, usually scriptural, that in some sense ties the exercise together without forcing a single conclusion.
As usual, material from de Mello is solid religious psychology/spiritual direction without being doctrinal.
