Christian Teachings on the Practice of Prayer

Christian Teachings on the Practice of Prayer

Edited by Lorraine Kisly

The Christian Teachings on the Practice of Prayer is not a book to be read, but a book to be savored. Beautifully structured, it leads us through twelve cycles to the very heart of prayer. Our companions along the way are the great voices of Christian tradition, past and present.

The editor of this volume is among those for whom the question of prayer and watchfulness is a living one. If prayer is a lifelong practice with man stages and levels of development, where does a beginner begin? What is the difference between prayer alone and prayer with others? If silence is true prayer, what place is there for prayers of petition and intercession, or even of praise?
