Doors Into Prayer

AN INVITATION

by Emilie Griffen

Emilie Griffin explores the many ways that Christians have prayed through the centuries and tackles difficult questions that we experience in prayer: 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.

This engaging book details many types of prayer, including those that are wrestling, ordinary, sometimes quick, intercessory, unceasing, and surprising. Griffin introduces us to the Jesus Prayer, lectio divina, contemplative prayer of various kinds, and the role of silence.
