A little bit about the book….Learning to Pray explains what prayer is, what to expect from praying, how to do it, and how it can transform us when we make it a regular practice in our lives. In his book, Fr. Martin lays out the different styles and traditions of prayer throughout Christian history and invites us to experiment and discover which works best to feed our soul and build intimacy with our Creator. Fr. Martin compares prayer to friendship, describing the means of praying and what happens when you pray to how we might get to know a friend as the relationship grows and deepens.
Editorial Review
“The genius of this book—evident in both its content and its style—is that it speaks, simultaneously, to beginners in prayer and to those experienced in the way of the Spirit. Fr. Martin is a winsome guide to all those who want to deepen their friendship with the Lord.” — Bishop Robert Barron, author of Catholicism: A Journey to the Heart of the Faith
