CONCERNING PRAYER

by Mary Kathryn Pearce with study guide by Maxine West

This spiritual growth study about prayer guides the reader through different types of prayer and points to role models who have become known for their skills in spiritual guidance. The Lord's Prayer is explored as a model for prayer which emerged from the formal and informal prayers of the Jewish people. Christianity was shaped by cultures and shaped them. The reader is led through these prayer variations, both informing and inspiring believers to go more deeply into their own spiritual practices. Maxine West provides a helpful study guide that gets people directly into the practices of prayer both individually and corporately. Prayer may appear to be straightforward enough, but dilemmas can surface as we decide our own best way to pray and explore what to pray for.
