From the Back Cover:

More than one million copies sold! ìWhat I have found strangely lacking in my own times of need are guidelines to prayer at its humblest and most basic: prayer as asking. The prayer of a child quite simply running to its father for help.î ñCatherine Marshall You want to pray, but the words will not come. Or you pray and nothing seems to happen. You wonder, Where is God in all of this? How can I get His direction and help?

Adventures in Prayer shows you his help is at hand. In eight brief but profound chapters, Catherine Marshall shares personal discoveries as to how prayer works, including refreshing insights on relinquishment, waiting, helplessness, and how surprisingly down-to-earth God wants our conversation with him to be.

Each entry is followed by a prayer for practice, especially designed to help you start a prayer when you donít know how to begin or when the concerns of your heart seem too difficult to express. Coupled with Catherineís wisdom and thoughtful guidance, these prayers will also guide you to discover the power of a plea, of asking for help from an ever-listening heavenly Father. Catherine Marshall (1914ñ1983) wrote more than twenty nonfiction books, including the best-selling A Man Called Peter and Beyond Our Selves. She is also the author of more than one hundred articles and two best-selling novels, Christy and Julie.
