Synopsis

Many of us are aware of our spiritual nature, and we have a real desire and need to talk to God. Prayer, however, seems a difficult thing to do. While talking to our friends comes easily, we often think that talking to God does not.

In How to Pray, John Pritchard takes us on a journey into prayer. He begins by showing us how to see the divine in everyday life and how to slow down enough to hear God. He makes a wealth of useful suggestions about:

- how to pray
- when to pray
- how to pray with the Bible
- how to pray with the imagination
- how to pray with others
- how to pray when the going gets tough.

Whether you are just starting out in your prayer life or want to deepen and refresh it, this practical handbook will be a constant source of ideas and inspiration.

Aimed at new Christians or anyone who wants to refresh their prayer life, this work covers both the practicalities of how to pray and a range of approaches which may help to deepen the prayer life.
