Drawing on many resources and his own experience, Father Martin invites and engages readers so that they can recognize possibilities for prayer in their lives. Everyone will find reliable spiritual riches in this wise, personal, and practical book, as they journey to God., One of America's best-known and best-loved priests, famous for his kindly and witty demeanor, Martin remains an amicable and humble interpreter of lofty spiritual truths. Learning to Pray strips prayer of its austerity, finding honesty in the mystery and warmth in its ubiquity., A smart, wise, often side-splittingly funny master class in seeking God. Any spiritual seeker--from atheist to professional religious--will cherish this bravura tome from one of our great spiritual guides, in the lineage of C. S. Lewis, Henri Nouwen, Thomas Merton, Gandhi, and Mother Teresa. Hallelujah & amen!, A trusted teacher, Martin teaches that there is no wrong way to pray, even as he lays out many wonderful ways to pray. This book is for anyone who has avoided prayer for any reason--a strong invitation, a gentle encouragement, a wise masterful guide, and a needed book., A welcome and accessible guide for prayer at a time when we are all in need of opportunities for reaching out to Jesus and one another.

This book shows us how to stay with such moments and allow them to change us for the better., Never before has a book confronted me with the possibility of learning and re-learning the practice of prayer like Learning to Pray. This book had me praying while reading and reading while praying. Martin offers solutions coupled with beauty and opportunity mixed with a wellspring of grace., A superb one-volume introduction to a topic that is vital to any serious spiritual seeker. Plenty of treasures await the reader., In this accessible volume, Martin feels like a personal spiritual advisor, gently leading listeners to a more enriching prayer practice. Rich in detail, explanation, and examples., A wonderful, attractive, interesting, and very informative book on prayer that only Jim Martin could have written. Because he has discovered the joys of a regular prayer life for himself, he wants everyone to experience the same joy. You will be delighted and enlightened., With simplicity, clarity, humor, and humility, Father Martin returns those more experienced in prayer back to their roots and provides a sure base for those beginning to explore a regular practice of prayer--a helpful guide for us to become truly ourselves., The genius of this book--evident in both its content and its style--is that it speaks, simultaneously, to beginners in prayer and to those experienced in the way of the Spirit. Fr. Martin is a winsome guide to all those who want to deepen their friendship with the Lord., Practical advice for people of all traditions who desire to connect with God...Learning to Pray is one of [Martin's] best books., James Martin has done it again. He has found a way to make the sublime accessible to everyone. Martin teaches you how to experience God, who has been near you all along., Who else but Father Martin can combine the illuminating insights from spiritual giants like St. John Damascene with the likes of Monty Python? A humble, humorous step-by-step guide on the lofty subject of talking to and listening for the Living God.
