Often, people feel drawn to prayer but are timid and unsure about how to pray. For over thirty years, this book has demystified prayer for countless thousands. Friendly and inviting explains what prayer is all about, then turns to techniques that ready the soul to encounter God. Mining his rich experiences as a Jesuit missionary and spiritual director, Thomas Green, S.J., shakes away the cobwebs and banishes stodgy assumptions about spiritual life that is fed by the practice of prayer. A show more must-have resource, both for beginners and practiced 'pray-ers' who want to cultivate a more meaningful prayer experience. show less
The author looks at both the weeds and the wheat we produce in our lives. We cannot operate the weeds without destroying the wheat. Spiritual discernment is needed for us to grow spiritually and not be overcome by the weeds.

A source of wisdom and guidance for people serious about prayer. Now a revised edition makes Thomas Green's classic work available to a new generation seeking guidance in prayer. He offers a clear explanation of what the difficulties and consolations of mature prayer are all about.
