Summary of James Martin's Learning to Pray

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Prayer is for everyone. It is a personal relationship with God, and it changes throughout your life. It is something that changes your life. #2 If you grow up in a prayer-free environment, it’s not surprising that you wouldn’t know much about prayer. You were never taught how to pray, and you consider prayer something reserved for holy people, not you. #3 Prayer can be boring, and people can grow frustrated with the results of prayer. They may give up on prayer before they have the chance to experience the natural ups and downs of prayer and the spiritual life. #4 There are many reasons why people don’t pray, but the most common is laziness. People may be afraid of change, and they may fear that if they pray, they’ll become religious fanatics or quit their job to work with the poor.
