"Lectio divina" is a way of praying by sustained immersion into a revelatory text. While Scripture is the classic place of encounter with God, the text could also be the book of life or the book of nature.
In"Lectio Matters," respected spiritual guide Meg Funk accompanies the reader in exploring the various levels of lectio divina as taught by the ancient church writers and by sharing her own long experience. By means of this wisdom both ancient and new, "lectio divina" can become our burning bush, a real encounter with the living God, in which we take off our sandals and bow our brow to the ground.
