Common English

Reflective reading of the Scriptures to lead us into prayer has been a practice in the church since the earliest centuries. The method of Lectio Divina, or "Divine Reading," is a systematic reading of each section of a book with pauses for reflection and prayer.

The CEB Lectio Divina Prayer Bible makes it simple to do. For every chapter of the Bible there is:
A recommended passage for slow and thoughtful reading,
Questions for guiding a time of reflection and meaning of the text,
A prayer,
Suggestions for putting your new insights into action.

This Bible is perfect for personal devotion and reflection and for leading small groups. It will guide you to a lifelong source of fulfilling prayer, a conversation with God.
