Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has been written with a deep impression that the place and power of prayer in the Christian life is too little understood. I feel sure that as long as we look on prayer solely as the means of maintaining our own Christian life, we shall not know fully what it is meant to be. But when we learn to regard it as the highest part of the work entrusted to us, the root and strength of all other work, we shall see that we need nothing more than to study and practice the art of praying. If I have succeeded in pointing out the progressive teaching of our Lord in regard to prayer, and the distinct reference of His wonderful promises of His last night to the works we are to do in His name – to the greater works and the bearing of much fruit – we shall all admit that only when the church gives herself up to this holy work of intercession can she expect the power of Christ to manifest itself on her behalf. I pray that God will use this book to explain to some of His children the wonderful place of power and influence that He is waiting for them to occupy and that a weary world is waiting for too. - Andrew Murray

Download or read book A School of Prayer written by Pope Benedict XVI and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2013-01-30 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Complete Edition Prayer is essential to the life of faith. In this superb book, based on Pope Benedict's weekly teaching, he examines the foundational principles of the life of prayer. Believers of various backgrounds and experience in prayer-from beginners to spiritually advanced-will be enriched by this spiritual masterpiece. Benedict begins considering what we can learn from the examples of prayer found in a wide range of cultures and eras. Next, he turns to the Bible's teaching about prayer, beginning with Abraham and moving though Moses, the prophets, the Psalms to the example of Jesus. With Jesus Christ, Pope Benedict considers not only the Lord's teaching about prayer, but also his example of how to pray, including the Our Father, his prayers in the Garden of Gethsemane, and prayers on the Cross. The prayers of Mary, the Mother of Jesus, and the early Church are also explored. Benedict also draws on insights from spiritual masters, the saints, and the Church's liturgy. He challenges readers to live their relationships with God "even more intensely, as it were, at a ಘschool of prayer'." Although Benedict provides a sweeping survey of great figures of prayer, his discussion centers on Jesus Christ and even invokes him in the study of prayer. "It is in fact in Jesus," writes Benedict, "that man becomes able to approach God in the depth and intimacy of the relationship of fatherhood and sonship. Together with the first disciples, let us now turn with humble trust to the Teacher and ask him: ಘLord, teach us to pray' (Lk 11:1)."

And when can we do it with our busy schedules?We disciple our children by reading the Bible, discussing how to apply it to our lives and then praying together for God to continue to make us more like Him.

Prayer brings us closer to God and each other by growing in our understanding of scripture and asking Him to help us to apply it to our lives. The sooner we bring this discipline into our homes, the sooner God can guide us how to disciple our children in the way they should go.Each week has a theme to explore in the Bible that can be prayerfully applied to you and your child's lives. Every verse is also paraphrased into an easier understanding for younger children, with a shorter prayer for them to recite, so that the book can be used on both older and younger children. At the end of each chapter there will be a blank page where you can write out a personal prayer related to the topic for your child. This book becomes not only a guide on how to disciple your child, but a precious keepsake of how you've prayed for them and how God answered your prayers for your child throughout the year.This one discipline, that can renew our minds, change our attitudes and impact our behaviors and decisions. If we are faithful to spend these few minutes with God in prayer, we can be transformed together to become stronger and to become more of who God wants us to be. One verse, one prayer just might change the trajectory of their lives!
