<transcy>Prayer (La prière)</transcy>
Presentation
Prayer is a friendship that satisfies. Prayer puts our hearts in tune with that of God. Prayer is the key to our being and to our action. We must learn to pray. It is a necessity.
Prayer is wonder, intimacy and struggle; but also an approach to reality. Nothing is more important, difficult, rich or life transforming factor. Nothing beats prayer, absolutely nothing.
Timothy Keller analyzes in a precise and nuanced way the past or contemporary practices of different religions. He teaches us the joy of praying and meditating on the scriptures as Augustine, Luther, and Calvin did. He is particularly interested in the Our Father and the Psalms.
Keller presents prayer from its theological, methodological and also practical angle. A unique book that does not claim to deliver the key or the secret of prayer. It offers real practical and biblical tools for renewing one's prayer life in order to experience growing wonder in intimacy with God.
