| Praying with Saint Paul is a handbook of daily reflections that leads the reader into the richness of the writings of the great Apostle. The words of Saint Paul are very familiar to us from the readings of the eucharistic Liturgy. Yet, we rarely get a chance to reflect on Paul's wisdom. Praying with Saint Paul offers a kind of lectio divina"a "spiritual reading""of Paul's letters by which one can go deeply into the mind and heart of this great saint in a very practical, convenient, and "user-friendly" way day-by-day. You will find an entry for each day of the year that starts with a short quotation from one of Paul's letters. It is followed by an original reflection by one of the book's thirty-two gifted spiritual authors. Each entry concludes with a thought-provoking prayer. Praying with Saint Paul will guide you through the spiritual treasury of Saint Paul's thought"from the Letter to the Romans to the Letter to Philemon . This volume will help you to meditate, giving deeper illumination and deepening your familiarity with one of the spiritual giants of the Church.''' |

| Prayer is both our most human action and our most human language. But, as with any other language, we may find ourselves clumsy and undisciplined in our attempts at it. Praying with the Psalms can help Christians become fluent in the language of prayer, encouraging us to pray even when we don't feel like it, and to learn prayers that are both honest and right.Based on the life and words of David, the Psalms provide insightful reflections on depression, anger, frustration, fear, and insecurity, as well as joy, exhilaration, triumph, and gladness. Praying with the Psalms offers daily readings to guide us in expressing to God the wide range of human emotions. Through this enriched communication with God, we are led to a deeper understanding--and a truer following--of his will. |

| Is praying a duty or a delight?J. I. Packer and Carolyn Nystrom say that it's both; an essential, expected practice as a follower of Christ, but also a privilege and joy. As we start out learning to pray properly, however, the delight often seems to be missing. Here is practical help for active, honest praying that involves all of who we are--heart, hands and head--and moves us to deeper obedience, joy and intimacy with our Father. |

| It is estimated that 90 percent of Americans pray. Yet many people approach God only in times of desperation or tragedy. For others, prayer is viewed as a tedious, but necessary, exercise. Even Christ's closest disciples fell asleep during His time in Gethsemane.The Bible exhorts us to pray without ceasing and contains countless examples of God moving thorugh prayer. So why does it seem so difficult?Maybe what's needed is worship. Author Daniel Henderson suggests that worship-based prayer is particupatory, encouraging, God-centered, and biblical. With over two decades of experience in prayer leadership, he offers scriptural insights and true stories of wonders through prayer. Throughout, Henderson's enthusiasm and wisdom inspires readers to revolutionize their prayer lives. |
