Book Reviews

Prayer by Richard Foster

3/6/2025

0 Comments

 
As John Orbell writes on the cover of- “This book is a rare gift … both as a guide to prayer and an answer to one.”

Richard Foster examines with a whole heart an invitation to Prayer drawing on saints from St Augustine, St John of the Cross to ordinary prayerful folk. At the end of each chapter, Foster rounds off his own prayers eg, ‘Dear Lord Jesus in my better moments I want nothing more than to be like you … Help me to see how good conformity to your way really is. In my seeking for you may I be found by you. I love you Lord - AMEN.’

​No one who reads ‘Prayer’ will remain unmoved. Even in the most difficult times we feel the ‘agony of prayerlessness’ this book will provide encouragement & the possibility of a profound experience of prayer will come within our reach.’
Thank you Lord for putting this book on my path.
​Thank you for Richard Foster. AMEN.
