About Wild Geese Rising:

In Wild Geese Rising, prayer arises as a way of beholding and befriending life. This book transforms the practice of “saying our prayers” into an instinctive way of living prayer as moment-by-moment contemplative action. Gayle Hansen Browne tells the story of what prayer can be with keen attention to translating complex theological thinking and spiritual insights into everyday language. The book first tells the story of what happened to prayer during shifts from ancient Jewish and early Christian theological and spiritual traditions to the Western Christian perceptions we assume regarding prayer today. Browne then explores contemporary insights that emerge from open and relational theology, as well as evolutionary and ecological spirituality. The result is practical wisdom and inspiration for anyone who seeks to engage with the Divine as they behold and befriend life through moment-by-moment contemplative action. For anyone who ever wonders how prayer can make a difference in the world today, this book is for you.
