Prayer is at the heart of the Christian life. Given that we are weak and even sinful human beings, how can it be that God has anything to do with us? What does it mean to have a personal relationship with God? Why is God so silent and hidden? How do we grow in prayer? Personal Prayer: A Guide for Receiving the Father’s Love brings the depth of human experience together with the Catholic tradition of prayer to present the path to an intimate and vulnerable relationship with God. Experienced spiritual directors Fr. Thomas Acklin, OSB, and Fr. Boniface Hicks, OSB, explore the many forms of Catholic prayer and demonstrate that vulnerability is essential to growing in relationship with God. Rich with the wisdom of Scripture, Catholic teaching, and the writings of the saints, Personal Prayer is an exhaustive guide for priests, religious, and laity desiring to receive the Father’s love in a profoundly personal way.

Jesus Christ did not sit Sally down at the beginning of her walk with Him and say, "You will teach others how to pray, and help Me to build 'houses of prayer'." Throughout thirty years of ministry as she served in the church... as she worked in youth and family ministry... as she met individually with people who had great needs... as she took part in organized prayer ministries and national prayer outreaches... as she eventually helped to establish healing ministry training sites... it became apparent to her that there were people that knew how to pray effectively and who saw the Lord doing amazing things. From observation and experience it became apparent that Jesus Christ likes ***active, ***effective, ***heart-engaged, ***holy, ***sincere, and ***united prayer before His throne of grace for others and for the world! This in no way belittles 'passionate individual prayer' or 'Jesus' working His own desired miracles', but 'united prayer ministry' enlarges the foundational work of 'reaching the world for Christ' and provides places where 'healing those most wounded' are available in our day of human history. The time has come to unite those who intercede... ***for others...***for the Church... ***for communities... and ***for the world, so that the 'bride of Jesus Christ' will bring in the 'great harvest of souls' in this hour of history. We have much work to do - in His Name! Enjoy the journey!

"" Lord, teach us to pray." Christ's answer to His disciples' request has become the model prayer and still teaches us today, for through its beautiful simplicity the Lord's Prayer touches all of life. It expresses our need for salvation, our very dependence on our Heavenly Father for breath and bread, and it leads us in singing our praise and thanks. Its words are few, yet it is a prayer overflowing with treasures of wisdom and encouragement for your everyday life. Philip Ryken looks at the power and truth within each phrase of the Lord's Prayer, draws them together with other biblical passages, and shows how you can make this prayer your own. His warm approach, examples, and illustrations will enrich your heart and strengthen your prayer life, for the more you study the Lord's Prayer, the better you are able to pray. And the more you pray, the more deeply you are drawn into communion with God.
