Paperback. Condition: Good. Includes Study Guide This little book invites us to study with some ancient experts in prayer, the persons who wrote the Book of Psalms.

They don't offer a set of rules. But if we read their prayers carefully, we will learn something of their secret, the secret of the Ultimate Friendship. -adapted from the Foreword.…
