Praying with Saint Paul

Praying with Saint Paul by Viola Yassa is an easy-to-follow guide to prayer drawn from the life and teaching of St Paul, for anyone who has ever struggled to pray.

We all struggle with prayer at one point or another. Many people in the Bible struggled and grew in prayer, but none like St Paul, whose life and faith were completely transformed. He has much to teach about prayer as the ultimate weapon in our spiritual life and battles.

There are many ways of praying, and St Paul seems to have known them all. Each chapter explores one model of prayer shown in his life and teaching, and how you can practise it every day. Behind his boundless energy as apostle, missionary, pastor, theologian and tentmaker must have been an extraordinary prayer life. For St Paul, the line between everyday life and prayer was very thin, or did not exist at all.

With practical advice from his inspiring, miraculous and sometimes dangerous journeys, this book will help transform your prayer life. St Paul's models of prayer have greatly enriched the prayer of the Church, and we pray they will enrich yours.
