Full Description

In this second volume of the bestselling resource In All Seasons, For All Reasons, Fr. James Martin provides even more spiritual inspiration from this popular column in Give Us This Day.   
 
The Christian longing to share anguish, fear, gratitude, and awe has found expression in many forms of prayer, beginning in Scripture and the practices and words of Jesus. Over the centuries many fruitful approaches to prayer have taken hold, but often there is a certain unease about what is right or what is best. In this book, Fr. Martin eases these concerns with thoughtful, practical encouragement about prayer in all of its forms. Selected from his popular column "Teach Us to Pray" featured monthly in Give Us This Day, Fr. Martin offers practical guidance and invites us to spend time in the presence of God in any form it takes, as prayer is always transformative.
