Prayer: Finding the Heart's True Home Audiobook

" an excellent review of prayer. a good primer for spring-boarding to the church fathers "

" The original edition was amazing enough to read the 20th Anniversary Edition. I would take the time to read any of Richard Foster's books on Prayer or Spiritual Formation. "

" One of the best books I've read on the Christian life. An extraordinarily wise book. More surprising though was the fact that this book on prayer (an area in which I am so aware of my shortcomings) is not so much "convicting" or "challenging" as it is comforting and encouraging. "

" I should probably start reading this one again today... and then the day after I finish it the next time... and then I should just keep reading it over and over again for the entirety of my lifetime. SO MUCH information, but not hard to read. It is a great, "Meet you where you are" conversation on prayer, offering a lot for the reader to reflect on, personalize and internalize for growth. I really enjoyed reading it with a small group of close friends for the sake of the conversation and processing. Each time we discussed, it was rich and wonderful. "

" What I love about Richard Foster is that he is steeped in the story of the church. He is not bound within the narrow constraints of a particular strain of Christianity but seeks to know what the Spirit of God has been doing since Pentecost. What results is a rich book on prayer, exploring a variety of kinds of prayer that I would not expect. Some of the chapters I have my doubts on (the prayer of contemplation, the prayer of authority), but they challenged me to stretch. "

" This was inspiring. I used it as a devotional every night before I went to bed. I liked it very much. "

" I purchased this book to donate to the public library in my father's name. I learned many things from this book. "

" Foster focuses on varying types of prayers and how to develop them within your prayer life. I found it a very interesting book with an in depth view of prayer and the roles it can play in your life. I used it as a daily devotional covering a chapter a day. I would highly recommend it for anyone who wants to go deeper into their prayer life. "

" Explores all the types of prayer- very enlightening. Love this author; he writes with a good mix of biblical examples and practical examples of different types. Also wrote Celebration of Discipline- haven't read that, though. "

" This was a difficult book for me. I like Foster's other books. "Celebration of Disciplines" was a life changing. "Prayer: Finding the Heart's True Home" just felt very academic to me. Perhaps I will let it sit for a while and read it again... Just to see if my insight changes. "

" My favorite book on prayer. I love Foster's writing! "

" A book that I'll read often in full and piecemeal. It is a grounding book. "

" Helpful...I've been struggling with prayer, what it is, what it's for, how it works with that whole free will thing, and how to do it. This book helps with how to do it. Good for getting myself in the right frame of mind. My favorite may be the fiddler on the roof prayer "

" Much wisdom to be gained from this book. "

" I loved this book! Prayer is at the core of my spiritual life. Richard Foster's insight to the kinds and dimensions of this discipline is beautiful and illuminating. Highly recommend it. "

" Loving every chapter, especially the chapter about the prayer of sacrament. "

" This is one of my favorite books on prayer. "

" Best book I've ever read on prayer. Written with a humility and openness that's inviting. Challenging yet accessible, Foster's book has the ability to warm even the most calloused heart again to the act of prayer or to spur the devotee to further pursuit. "

" For anyone who prays to Jesus with any depth of devotion, whose heart beats for His purposes will stand to learn alot from this book. "

" Beautiful prose. The first quarter is terrific. The rest is good, but drags a bit. The first 6-7 chapters are great, though. "

" This was a wonderful book on prayer. I learned a lot. It has helped me view my prayer life in a different way. Pray without ceasing! "

" This book, more than anything else, helped me so much in learning to pray. It isn't a book that you sit down and read, since much of it requires thought and practice. "

" Prayer as occupation, prayer as love. To pray is to be with God. Foster is very encouraging and helpful. I think the book is organized very well. It's probably one I'll come back to again and again. "

" I read this with my bible study group last year and it gave us some new perspective on prayer - it better with 21 chapters each on a different type of prayer! "

" A great book on prayer! Explores different traditions on prayer and makes it accessible and exciting. Relit my desire to spend more time in prayer and learn more about it. "

" This work is a great introduction to prayer for either the new comer or old soul. Some of these methods may not even seem like prayer at first. There is much here to ponder. "

" This book is my favorite spiritual book of all time. "
