The Comprehensive coverage of all aspects of the Prayer Life. A classic work that was originally taught as a series in a church setting, but which easily lends itself to a free-flowing and informative read on the subject of how to pray correctly to have prayers answered. Passages in the bible are handled expertly making the connection between our prayer life and our daily life. Extracts from the Book "The greatest thing that we can do for God and man is to pray. We would no doubt accomplish more each day that is of value if we remained in communion with the living God. Just imagine what an army of prayer warriors could do in this nation. What actions would they set off? What strings would they strum that would vibrate like a sweet melody into eternity? What souls would be in Heaven because of such mission-minded musicians? Prayer produces fruit to our account. Prayer goes behind the scenes and works internally. Prayer is our secret, invisible weapon by which we can penetrate the enemy’s territory and begin to reclaim it for God." “And it came to pass, that, as He was praying in a certain place when He ceased, one of His disciples said unto Him, ‘Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.” Luke 11:1 Here, Jesus is shown to be engaged in prayer within earshot of his followers. When He ceases, they are absolutely astonished to have heard this soul-stirring conversation with the Father above. “Lord, teach us to pray!” This is the best request you and I can have when it comes to the prayer realm. For if we are to pray correctly, we must be taught correctly, and what higher place of learning is there than sitting at the feet of Jesus, the Master? What world-acclaimed bible seminary; what university; what religious guru can ever hope to touch the hem of Jesus’ garment? God must teach us to pray and avoid the pitfalls. Oh, you might know all there is to know about prayer - all the facts and figures - but there is another world in being taught to pray by the Son of God. May we sit at Jesus's feet and say: “LORD, teach us to pray!” Readers Feedback “What a book on prayer! Once taken up, it is hard to put down.

Prayer titles include: - Hungry, Homeless, Destitute - The Bread of Life - Peace - One Body, One Spirit There are also graces for special events such as Christmas, Palm Sunday, Good Friday, Easter, and Memorial Day.

With an introduction by Metropolitan Anthony of Sourozh, The Way of a Pilgrim presents one of Russia's greatest spiritual classics of Christian truth in an unpretentious literary prose of genuine beauty. An unknown pilgrim of the mid-nineteenth century tells his story of wandering through Russia and Siberia, from one holy place to another, in search of the way of prayer. R. M. French's superb translation conveys the charm of the original as well as brilliantly conveying the spiritual truths of the gospel, which are never bound to or owned by a particular culture. In the much-loved sequel, The Pilgrim Continues His Way, the narrator shares more of his story. He describes his journeyings among the holy places of Russia and his challenging encounters with holy people, the desire still burning within him to discover deeper experiences of prayer and draw closer to the heart of God.
