Title Synopsis: A spiritual classic that offers compassionate, practical guidance for those seeking a deeper, more honest relationship with God through prayer. Beginning to Pray has established itself as a modern spiritual classic. Hailed by both Catholics and Protestants, it was written by an Orthodox archbishop for people who had never prayed before and has been read and loved by persons at all levels of spiritual development.
"The realm of God is dangerous," says the author. "You must enter into it and not just seek information about it... The day when God is absent, when he is silent―that is the beginning of prayer."
