Lectio Divina is a way of reading the Scriptures in order the hear what God is saying personally to us through his Word. It is a way of reading the Bible that leads to meditation and a closeness wih God rather than the traditional 'Bible Study' which concentrates more on learning and Bible knowledge. This method can be used individually but also, very effectively, in small groups. A passage from the bible would be read aloud and then each member of the group would meditate on the reading, for about 15-20 minutes, seaking to hear what God was saying to them individually. There is no 'correct version' of reading, each persons response would be valid. At the end of the time we would share what God had shown us in the passage and then end with a short prayer taking the quietness home with us. This kind of 'reading' may well appeal to people who are looking for a way to 'be still with God' and to hear God speaking to them.
