Overview
St. Teresa of Avila called prayer "the royal road to heaven." She and many other saints can advise us on how to walk that "royal road" by learning to communicate with God. In The Saints' Guide to Learning to Pray, Louise Perrotta gleans from the spiritual writings and sayings of holy men and women, so that we might learn how to pray from those who have made intimacy with God their top priority.No matter where we are in our prayer lives, The Saints' Guide to Learning to Pray can help you enter into a deeper relationship with God. Saints such as Teresa of Avila, Edith Stein, and Francis de Sales reflect on the proper attitude toward prayer, good prayer habits, what to say to God, how to use Scripture in prayer, and how to "pray always." St. Jane Frances de Chantal and others show us how to deal with dryness, distractions, and the devil's assaults. Most of all, the saints point us to God himself as the best possible "spiritual director." Use this book to draw into closer intimacy with him.
