"Prayer" by Richard J. Foster

book review by Riley Burnham 6/28/2023

quite good(!) a total primer on praying

giving many types & varieties, this uses a minister's approach to how & when

for instance there are times where adoration, as it's called, is appropriate; & others where silent [working meditation/prayer] is just what's needed

he saves the more difficult/less advisable types for last, which would be commands [think biblical], which he says could be dangerous to novices, etc...

a thoughtful, heart-wise, clever, & useful narration on a fundamental human disposition/activity -- as he says, the heart's true home
