Prayer Primer

Igniting a Fire Within

By: Fr. Thomas Dubay S.M.

Narrated by: Casey Bassett

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.
