The Treasure of Prayer - Paperback

by Jacques Philippe (Author)

" Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Prayer is one of the sublime treasures of the Christian tradition, since it places us directly in contact with our Creator. It brings us into an intimacy with the one who transforms us from the inside and directs our life toward the good and the beautiful. Made up of brief chapters informed and nourished by the long Christian tradition, this book will help you discover the different facets of prayer and all the means that the Church gives us to cultivate it, persevere in it, and make this treasure bear fruit.
