In God's Presence: Theological Reflections on Prayer
Dr. Marjorie Suchocki
What are we really doing when we pray? Are we communicating with God or merely talking things over with ourselves?
And isn't it just a bit presumptuous to think that, with the whole vast universe to attend to, God is listening to our petty personal petitions?
If you've ever asked yourself questions like these, this book is for you!
In it, a distinguished theologian explores the dynamics of prayer: what it is, what it isn't, and how various kinds of personal and corporate prayer work to bring us into the presence of God.
If, Suchocki says, we regard prayer as a partnership with--not a manipulation of--God, we can find whole new dimensions in our prayer life.
