Description : Gandhi called prayer ‘the key of the morning and the bolt of the evening.’ But what is a prayer? Do you need to believe in God in order to pray? Why are the words important? What is the difference between prayer and meditation? Should you ask for things when you pray? Do prayers change the world around us? Rufus Goodwin addresses these and other questions in this thoughtful book. He examines the various traditions of prayer through the ages, but his intention is not to compare different traditions but to get at the essential technique and the attitude of prayer – its cognitive workings. Prayer is seen as key to an active inner life and an experience of the higher self, and can provide an anchor for meaning in daily life.
