The essence of prayer is love. That’s the fundamental premise and starting point for this book, which teaches techniques, but refutes obligation. We pray because we want to. But we don’t all pray alike. Some people feel guilty or inadequate, because they don’t pray in the way they’ve been told they should. But they may be praying in ways that perfectly suit their own personality. To give a comprehensive explanation of prayer could take several lifetimes, but this book’s 80 compact chapters are wide ranging enough to provide a valuable overview. Each chapter starts with a poem or quotation that crystallises the subject. The chapters are brief enough to use in personal devotions, and down-to-earth enough to make easy coffee-time reading. They describe options that suit different personalities and lifestyles, and progress from simple beginnings to ‘deeper’ forms of prayer – but, to quote from Chapter 38: “Prayer is for all, but not all types of prayer are for everyone.”Let us pray as we are (not as we are not).Let us pray because we want to.Let us pray anywhere, anytime, anyhow.But, however we do it – let us pray.
