This is a thought provoking book on prayer. It certainly helps one to see the relationship of Christ with all christians. It also has many great suggestions in developing a prayer life. I would recommend this book to anyone who is searching for a more meaningful prayer life. Joyce Rupp is a wonderful current author who can inspire others to develop a relationship with God.

Having finished reading Joyce Rupp's book, Prayer, my inclination was to begin to read it again. Clearly, she first lives what she then shares through her writing. She writes with a welcomed sincerity and honesty and acknowledges prayer as the door to deeper relationships and personal transformation. Her book is filled with sentences so packed with meaning that the words should be read slowly and reflectively. Sister Rupp offers questions at the end of each chapter to encourage the reader to stop, ponder, and pray. This book will encourage anyone who seeks to grow in personal relationship with God.

Joyce Rupp is wonderful Spiritual writer. I have never been disappointed in any of her books. Her book PRAYER is wonderful for all Catholics who are searching for their own spirituality.

This book is a must for those who pray daily and sometimes find it difficult to do so.

Very focused, intentional, coming out of personal faith journey's and drawing one into the Divine Presence that is the real longing of all our hearts. Not just another how to, but this took me into my own relationship and friendship with Jesus and the "Eternal Love". Motivates self surrender and embrace of the Holy One, transforming and Trinitarian in all its mystery of divine communication and revelation.

If you want to understand why you should pray, what the benefits are and how to pray more deeply, this book is great for your Catholic adult education. She also uses her own poetry, which is beautiful. There are also questions and a prayer after each section. Enjoy!

The books came in time for the prayer discussion. All were in great condition.

Thank You.

I have not gotten into this book as it was recommended for a Bible study which has not started yet. The recommendation was very high for this book, for there were several others to consider, and this one was picked.
