In a clear and well-documented way, the author presents the rich tradition of Christian prayer. Solidly based on Scripture and richly illustrated with the best scriptural writings through the centuries, the book convincingly shows the central place of prayer in the life of the contemporary Christian. It is an ideal introduction to the spiritual life. It not only speaks about prayer, but it creates the space in the reader where prayer can grow and mature. In this sense, it really introduces us into the realities about which it speaks. It creates a desire to live a life of true prayer. It is a book that truly forms heart and mind - Henri J. M. Nouwen (slightly paraphrased). This is a great book. As in Soul Friend Kenneth Leech brings the Christian tradition to bear upon the spiritual life. Here he explores the life of prayer within the framework of the Lord's prayer. He doesn't strictly exegete Jesus' prayer, but rather uses it as a spring board to discuss related issues. As such, his chapters are at times a rambling romp through various issues. I think this book could be tighter in its organization but Leech is deep waters and well worth working through. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
