The Pearls of Life are used by thousands of people today as a contemporary aid to prayer. This book, featuring full-colour photos, describes the meaning of the pearls and how to use them: The God Pearl The Pearls of Silence The I Pearl The Baptism Pearl The Desert Pearl The Serenity Pearl The Love Pearls The Mystery Pearls The Night Pearl The Resurrection Pearl. In this time of great spiritual longing as well as unprecedented busyness, stress and difficulty in focusing, Swedish bishop Martin Lonnebo has devised the Pearls of Life as a method to help the mind attain a state of stillness, meditation and prayer. In this way, we are drawn back to what is most important in our lives, to our spiritual centre and an experience of God.
