Igniting A Fire Within Fr. Thomas Dubay, a renowned teacher and writer on prayer and the spiritual life, presents a simple, profound and practical book on the most important of all human activities, communion with God. Prayer Primer is written for intelligent adults (and teenagers) who want God and a serious prayer life, but it does not presuppose that they need or have a theological background. It does take up many questions rarely answered adequately in the classroom or from the pulpit, often not mentioned at all: Why pray? (be ready for some surprises) - Why vocal prayer is important and yet should be limited - What contemplation is and is not - Praying with Scripture - Family prayer - even how to introduce children to group meditation - Prayer in a busy life - Pitfalls and problems - together with solutions - Buddhism? New Age? Centering prayer? - What should you do when dry and empty and not at all inclined to pray? How do you even get started? - Where and how to begin? - Assessing progress - Growing in depth. All of these subjects, and more, are clearly and concisely explained for citizens of this 21st century. ââ¬ÅOf the many books written on prayer, Prayer Primer is unique. Father Dubay is a master on this subject. It is a rare gift to have a simple primer written by such a man. It is utterly sound, trustworthy and practical.ââ¬?
