Each Ruah book is divided into five sections loosely inspired by the Catholic tradition of lectio divina:
REST: an opportunity to be still and silent before beginning your time in prayer READ: a slow and intentional reading of the prayer REMAIN: another reading of the prayer in which you’ll find added reflection questions to encourage you to encounter the prayer more deeply in conversation with God RENEW: additional questions to further ponder new observations in your heart as you finish this prayerful experience RECORD: a perpetual journal for you to write down any insights you’d like to remember. The perpetual journal can be used as often or as little as you choose during each reading |
