Whether you are a begin­ner at prayer or ful­ly engaged in the life of prayer, this lit­tle book will offer pro­found insight and encour­age­ment. Emi­lie Grif­fin dis­cuss­es the relent­less human hunger for prayer, the seem­ing elu­sive­ness of God, the pit­falls of dis­cour­age­ment and doubt, and the whis­pers of con­so­la­tion that come through prayer. She invites us ulti­mate­ly to put the book down, to mend the ragged edges of our own prayer lives, and to set out once again on the remark­able adven­ture that is prayer.
