Book Reviews of Sister Wendy on Prayer
Book Review: Simple and simply delightful
Summary: 5 Stars
Sister Wendy's thoughts on prayer appear simple, but within each sentence there is enormous wisdom. No doubt the great God who loves us all would not make prayer so difficult that only the very brilliant could have access to Him through it. Sister Wendy shows us that He is true to His word - we have only to seek, ask, knock. There are no formulas or methods that supercede the love of the Father for His children or that can keep the seeking heart from Him.
The book is a gem and a blessing. Yes, there are other books on prayer. Read them all. But as Sister Wendy warns us, do not mistake reading about prayer for actually praying.
Summary of Sister Wendy on Prayer
Sister Wendy Beckett, adored and renowned art historian, has spent years in silence and contemplation in her calling as a nun. Her celebrated television specials and books about art have led her many admirers to ask about her own faith and practices. For the ?rst time, in this thoughtful examination of the nature of prayer, she reveals her deeply held beliefs about her religion and her intimate understanding of God.What should I do during prayer? Can prayer really be as simple as a conversation? How do I let God enter my being? Do I need to belong to a religion in order to pray? Sister Wendy answers these and many other common questions, all the while imparting the importance of prayer in our daily lives. No book by Sister Wendy would be complete without art?accompanying her wisdom are thirteen beautiful reproductions of paintings that Sister Wendy has selected because of the spiritual connection she has with each.
