Summary
Fr. Thomas Dubay, a renowned teacher and writer on prayer and the spiritual life, presents a simple, profound and practical book on the most important of all human activities, communion with God.
Prayer Primer is written for intelligent adults (and teenagers) who want God and a serious prayer life, but it does not presuppose that they need or have a theological background. It does take up many questions rarely answered adequately in the classroom or from the pulpit, often not mentioned at all:
- Why pray? (Be ready for some surprises)
- Why vocal prayer is important and yet should be limited
- What contemplation is and is not
- Praying with Scripture
- Family prayer - even how to introduce children to group meditation
- Prayer in a busy life
- Pitfalls and problems - together with solutions
- Buddhism? New Age? Centering prayer?
- What should you do when dry and empty and not at all inclined to pray? How do you even get started?
- Where and how to begin?
- Assessing progress
- Growing in depth
All of these subjects, and more, are clearly and concisely explained for citizens of this 21st century.
