The authors’ aim in this book is to develop the spiritual and prayer life and to help people discuss with others their faith journeys and spiritual growth. Prayer is examined in many different ways, the authors arguing that we have too narrow an idea of prayer and appealing for a broadening of the scope of how we pray. Several chapters are devoted to individual case studies, to the experience of individuals who have encountered spiritual aridity in their lives and how they have dealt with it. Several of these personal accounts are by people who have discovered God in the unlikeliest of ways. The authors make no generalisations but give specific ideas and practical advice. This is a helpful book not only to those struggling to find their way in prayer but also to those looking for fresh approaches to the God they already know.
