"What is Prayer?

This approachable book provides a ""how-to"" guide that demystifies the valuable spiritual practice of prayer. The reflective text and unconventional illustrations encourage self-reflection, silence, meditation, and stillness. This book gives accessible starting points for beginners, as well as add a modern twist for people who have been practicing prayer their whole lives.

The book brings prayer out of the church service and into everyday life. Drawing on various religious traditions and allowing the reader to define their relationship with the Divine, 84 Ways to Pray nurtures meaningful habits of reflection. Prayer can happen on your commute, in the shower, around the table, and more. Prayer can happen alone or in community. Prayer can be contemplative or active. Prayer is a way of life and this book shows the way to embody a healthy spirituality for today's world.

How Do I Pray?

Many religious communities pressure people by saying they should pray, but rarely teach people how to pray. And if they are taught, the practice often comes with burdens and rules on how to do it correctly. Many adults never grow out of these ingrained perceptions of the practice. They approach prayer with feelings of dread, confusion, fear, and disappointment. 84 Ways to Pray answers this dilemma with a collection of modern reflections on a timeless practice.

Through insightful dialogue and whimsical drawings, ancient and modern prayer practices play in conversation with one another, making prayer accessible to those who struggle not with the why, but the how of prayer. Taking the stuffiness out of prayer, the humorous drawings and brief commentaries invite the reader to casually flip through the content or choose to dedicate time for their own prayerful engagement."
