The Possibility of Prayer

The world clamors for efficiency and productivity. But the life of prayer is neither efficient nor productive. Instead as we learn in the psalms prayer calls us to wait to watch to listen to taste and to see. These things are not productive by any modern measure-but they are transformative. As a pastor in Manhattan John Starke knows the bustle and busyness of our society. But he also knows that prayer is not just for spiritual giants. Prayer he writes is for each of us-not because we are full of spiritual wisdom and maturity but because we are empty. Here is an invitation to discover via the church's ancient rhythms and with Starke's clear practical guidance the possibility of prayer. Here is a book about prayer that is really a book about the whole Christian life.
