Prayer's Apprentice

In the tradition of narrative-driven spiritual writing, former Christianity Today editor Timothy Jones shares his year of journeying and journaling with prayers from Psalms, Isaiah, spiritual mentors such as Augustine, C.S. Lewis, and Thomas Merton, and from literary figures such as George Herbert, John Donne, and Christina Rossetti. Each of the fifty-two chapters (one for each week of the author's year-long journey) begins with a written prayer from a recognized spiritual mentor or significant writer followed by an account of Jones' search for its meaning amid the scenes of life. Part prayer collection, part memoir, this book is perfect for those seeking to delve deeper into a prayer life with God.
