Enlightenment Qur'an: The Politics of Translation and the Construction of Islam Book

A book about alternative ways of praying, using sight, sound, smell, touch etc. It's fascinating, because I'd never thought of that way of praying before. Creative Prayer came at a perfect time for me. My personal prayer life had been caught in a rut lately, with me feeling that there must be more to prayer than just what I was used to. This book helped me remember that I was limiting myself by relying solely on words, and that there's nothing unbiblical about praying using more than words--or sometimes not even using words at all.

Reread in 2013: Very, very odd. When I first read this in 2007 I LOVED it and claimed it an instant favourite. This second read-through has taken me 4+ months and I'm putting it away with the last 3 chapters still unread. As "Unfinished" usually makes for an automatic 1-star rating, I'll split the difference and give it 3 stars, in the hopes that it'll redeem itself if I decide to pick it up again.
