At the age of sixty-plus decided to take the plunge and so what I should have done many years earlier: become a Catholic’, writes the author, James Harkess in his introduction. In this book James attempts to share something of the joy and strength that he has found through his constant habit of prayer both before and after his conversion. His famous Christian prayer the Our Father. In this prayer, which two Gospels mark as coming from Jesus himself, the author discovers the framework for all other prayer and devotion to God.
After providing us with a broad and very personal introduction to prayer in general, the author invites us in the following chapters to deepen our acquaintance with the individual petitions contained these well-known words from the Gospel of Matthew. Although he delves into many questions surrounding the practise of prayer, the author's fundamental aim remains to call us to that ‘unique and wondertul conversation with the Almighty on a regular basis’ which is our privilege as believers.
