An Introduction to Prayer

Prayer fascinates us. Studies show that even atheists and agnostics sometimes pray. But what precisely is prayer? How does it “work”? And what are some of the time-tested ways to practice it?

An Introduction to Prayer offers a collection of rich yet brief reflections on prayer in the Catholic spiritual tradition from acclaimed author, speaker, and theologian Bishop Robert Barron. This book explores the answers to questions like:

• Why should I pray?
• What should I say or do when I’m praying?
• Who exactly am I praying to?
• Are there different types of prayer?
• What do the spiritual masters say about prayer?
• How can I establish a solid routine of prayer?
• And many more

Perfect for beginners but filled with profound insights for those looking to further their spiritual life, An Introduction to Prayer will inspire you to seek out more frequent conversation—and a deeper communion—with God.
