Sacred Breath, Sacred Word: Prayers of the New Ancients, Prayers Beyond the Veil Paperback – April 1, 2026

When you pray, whether it's at the dinner table, before bed, or in a pew on Sunday morning, where is God?If your gut answer is "out there" or even "I'm not so sure anymore," you're not alone. We have all felt the void and the ache, crying out to God for help and reassurance, but wondering why our prayers go unanswered, or if they are even heard. Because most of us were taught to pray towards a God that was far away and distant. And the job of your prayers was to somehow close the distance. To pray harder. Fast longer. Push through. Press in.To perform ... until God shows up or begins to listen.But the earliest believers did not pray that way. Not in the New Testament, and not in the early churches. The followers of The Way prayed from a union that was tangible and breathing. Prayers already alive in their bodies before a single utterance left their mouths. Because they knew they were already inside the dance of God's own Life and Creation, and they prayed from that place with a power that shook the foundations of earthly empires.The prayers of the earliest believers lived in the body and in the heavenly realms. Breath and movement and sound and silence. And something extraordinary happened when they prayed that way. The same thing neuroscience is now confirming happens in the brain and nervous system when a person prays from union instead of toward it.These prayers never disappeared, but most of us have lived our entire lives never knowing they existed. Some have been suppressed, others locked away in wind-swept monasteries and forgotten desert caves. This book places seven of them in your hands. Grounded in Scripture, in deep history, and in the science of what is happening in your body when you pray them, not just spiritually but physiologically!And then, the prayer the early church thought was so dangerous and powerful that it could not even be known or uttered by those not baptized into the faith, and was placed into the Disciplina Arcani, the Discipline of the Secret. Modern neuroscience reveals why the church guarded it so fiercely, and now the most revolutionary prayer in the history of the faith becomes fully yours, as the Mashiach always intended! Read more
