About this title

Synopsis

Overview: The Art of Praying..the prinicples and methods of Christian prayer should be in every believers library. This channel to the heart, will and desires of God will connect your with his voice and his purpose for your life. Romano Guardini (author) wrote: "One cannot, in the long run, remain a Christian without praying, as one cannot live without breathing." Prayer is essential to our well being, our future and sustains us in our present. Let me ask you... Are your prayers sometimes difficult or unrewarding? Do you suffer from distractions or often lack the desire to pray? Your problem is probably not a failure or will (for you do try to pray well) but a failure of knowledge- and the good news is that it's easily overcome. In these pages, Romano Guardini provides a welcome solution to this common problem: he teaches you the art of praying-an art that you must ultimately master if you are to remain a Christian and ddeepen your faith. This is a book that will sure accelerate your Christian voice and empowering you to hear, discern and obey the will of God in your life.

From the Inside Flap

You've matured, but have your prayers? Has your understanding of prayer matured since you learned to pray at your mother's knee? Or, like many of us, do you continue to pray, year after year, as you were taught as a child?

If your prayers are difficult or boring, your problem may not be so much failure of will (you do try to pray well) as lack of knowledge about how mature souls pray. Most of us have been doing it so long that we pray automatically without really thinking about it.

The good news is that such problems are easily overcome!

This remarkable book offers practical ways that you can improve your prayers today and grow closer to God.

Learn:

-How to overcome distractions

-How to pray when your heart is empty

-How to avoid monotony

-The best posture for prayer ... and more!
