Book Review: Learning to Pray: A Guide for Everyone by Father James Martin

Overall, this book is a rote rendering of very important aspects of living a prayerful life. There is far too much filler content, which can often be due to the terms of the author’s book contract. A longer book nets a larger advance, more dollars, and a bigger “book deal.” I’m grateful for the book, though, because it made me think about how to rescue my prayer life from mediocrity. 


Learning to Pray

Our September 2024 story The Hymn in Her Heart featured Reverend Anne Saunders, who was called to be a minister in the early 1980s. Her journey as a teacher, a wife, a mother, a caretaker to her parents, and as a minister is one of profound faith. During these tumultuous times, comfort can be found by praying. Not all of us know how to pray. To learn how to pray or to learn to become better at praying, we sought wisdom from Reverend Anne Saunders.
