"Guidelines for the Spiritual Life of the Prayer and Word Community" (1999), the work of the distinguished Croatian theologian and spiritual leader, Prof. Dr. Tomislav Ivančić, is a key normative-spiritual manual intended for members and leaders of the Prayer and Word Community (ZMR). The book was created as a result of decades of experience working with prayer groups and leading the new evangelization movement, offering a clear methodological and spiritual framework for the comprehensive construction of Christian communion. The center of Ivančić's concept is made up of two indispensable pillars: Prayer as a personal and communal encounter with the living God, and the Word of God as the foundation of faith, teaching, and action. The author analyzes in detail the structure of the community's encounter, from the introduction to mindfulness and worship, through meditative absorption of biblical texts, to the concrete application of evangelical principles in everyday life. In addition to inner spiritual maturation, the guidelines also explicitly emphasize the apostolic dimension — openness to evangelization and providing spiritual and anthropological help to people in need. Written in a clear, systematic, and spiritually inspired style, this edition offers an invaluable practical guide for all prayer groups. "Guidelines for the Spiritual Life of the Community" remains an indispensable reading for understanding the charism and work of the Prayer and Word Community and for building healthy, mature, and mission-oriented circles of believers.
