Publisher Description

Beginning to Pray is far more than another how to book on prayer. Drawing from real-life analogies and applying them to biblical stories, Anthony Bloom emphasizes the connection between the language of prayer and our need to develop a personal relationship with the living Christ. Whether you're a new believer, a seasoned saint, or somewhere in between, this classic book is a great place to start if you are looking to deepen your prayer life.

"A down to earth, practical, and helpful look at prayer, and how to pray (which can often be ignored / glossed over). Unfortunately it's a bit short and you can't help but read it really fervently, but definitely worth a look. I just wish he had elaborated further on his thoughts on the subject."

    " I have read this book multiple times. This time I read it once and then I read it again right away. The driving question behind this book is how can we communicate with God when we are human and God is God? "
