Mystically Wired

We are designed to make connections to God through prayer in more ways than we can imagine.

Prayer can be so much more than a simple conversation. It can be a wordless connection with God, a step beyond the boundary of the separated self. It can be a way to listen to the silence. And it can be learned. We can learn how to pray in ways we never thought possible. It doesn't take more effort; it takes more understanding.

Wilson's book shows how the brain is designed by God:

• To calm itself
• To relax into love
• To become increasingly aware of how connected everything is in God
• To experience a deeper intimacy with our Creator

Prayer is something that our brains want to do with a little help. Ken Wilson tells us how.

Praise for Mystically Wired:

— R. York Moore, National Evangelist InterVarsity Christian Fellowship USA

“It began the day Jesus’ disciples came to him and asked, ‘Lord, teach us to pray.’ Ever since, Christ-followers have been wanting to learn the ways of prayer. Ken Wilson’s Mystically Wired is an extraordinary contribution to that learning tradition. It’s a wonderful read that leaves you feeling, ‘Yes, this is for me. Yes, I can do this. Yes, it’s within reach.’”

— Brian McLaren, Author/Speaker/Activist

“I wandered away from religion because religion thought it had all the answers. Pastor Ken Wilson, though, understands that life and faith are really about having the right...read more...
