Growth in Prayer

Among writers on the spiritual life, few have had the impact of Jim Wilson. His simple but profound approach to prayer, meditation and healing has brought many to a deeper understanding of the Christian life. Growth in Prayer, a meditation for each Sunday of the year, is an excellent introduction to the life of prayer, and is ideal both for private prayer and contemplation and for group worship. 'Our whole prayer life depends on what we believe deeply in our mind about God' - says Father Wilson - 'Wrong, or unworthy ideas about God will lead to disappointment and ineffectiveness in prayer; and yet belief in God is not enough. We need to know God in our experience, and deep prayer is needed if we are to know him in this way.'
