In Awakening to Prayer the author explores the fundamental nature and root of prayer, the human and divine reality that underlies all praying. In a long chapter on the “anthropology” of prayer, he discusses the relationship between prayer times and other daily activities, the need for both repeated ritual and silence, the problem distractions and deviations in prayer. The book culminates in a moving reflection on Christ's prayer and what it means to pray authentically as a Christian.
