Summary:
Prayer is a subject that some find difficult. Either it seems irrelevant or simply too much to contemplate. Among those who practise it, some experience its delight, others are disappointed, distracted or give it little time. Yet many are drawn to pray at some time in their lives. Richard Foster explores the different facets of prayer, from the ordinary to the extraordinary. Its root is a relationship, he says, fostered by God and one which everyone can develop, whatever their experience. He describes prayer as a journey inward, upward and outward, and illustrates this with examples of the classics of prayer and the mystics of history. He attempts to relate prayer to the everyday.
