The Art of Prayer: A Pathway to Spiritual Growth

Prayer is a universal activity, and it is probably true to say that nearly everyone has prayed as some time in his or her life-even if it's just to say, "Oh, God, help!" The need to reach out to someone or something beyond ourselves is as old as humanity itself and is shared by people of all nations. In an increasingly busy world the ancient art of prayer can help to center your life and provide space for spiritual growth. The simple, step-by-step approach in this book will help you unlock the secrets of prayer. It explores what prayer really means, why and how people pray and what difference prayer can make in your life--here, today. It encourages you to begin where you are and to progress toward a deeper understanding both of yourself and of God. The Art of Prayer draws upon 2,000 years of Christian experience and devotion through words used by all kinds of people in many different circumstances.
