Publisher's Summary

Fr. Thomas Dubay, a renowned teacher and writer on prayer and the spiritual life, presents a simple, profound and practical book on the most important of all human activities, communion with God.

Prayer Primer is written for intelligent adults (and teenagers) who want God and a serious prayer life, but it does not presuppose that they need or have a theological background. It does take up many questions rarely answered adequately in the classroom or from the pulpit, often not mentioned at all: 

  • Why pray? (Be ready for some surprises) 
  • Why vocal prayer is important and yet should be limited 
  • What contemplation is and is not 
  • Praying with Scripture 
  • Family prayer - even how to introduce children to group meditation 
  • Prayer in a busy life 
  • Pitfalls and problems - together with solutions 
  • Buddhism? New Age? Centering prayer? 
  • What should you do when dry and empty and not at all inclined to pray? How do you even get started? 
  • Where and how to begin? 
  • Assessing progress 
  • Growing in depth

All of these subjects, and more, are clearly and concisely explained for citizens of this 21st century.
