How To Pray
A Practical Guide To The Spiritual Life
If we want to become the people God made us to be, we need time for personal prayer every day. It sounds simple enough, but we often allow distractions, temptations, and our busy lives to keep us from daily prayer.
And what is prayer?
Prayer is our "yes" to God-- a "yes" that sometimes requires that we say "no" to self. Prayer is the place where we open ourselves to receive God's love. Through perseverance in prayer, our love is gradually purified, enabling it to become like a lightning rod through which we rise up and into God, and his love descends into us. In prayer, the fire of his love gradually forms us ever more perfectly into the image and likeness of our risen Lord.
In How to Pray: A Practical Guide to the Spiritual Life, spiritual theologian David Torkington offers everyday guidance for entering more deeply into prayer, wherther you are a beginner or looking to go deeper in your prayer life. The forty short, easy-to-read chapters in this guide will inspire devotions and meditation and deepen your understanding of Sacred Scripture.
