About this ebook
Deepen your prayer life by drawing on the prayers of thoughtful Christians throughout history.
What should we do when our prayer lives become repetitive, superficial, or nonexistent? Pete James invites us to spend time with a “cloud of witnesses”—thoughtful Christians who have prayed to God in remarkably varied times, places, and circumstances. In Prayers from the Cloud: 100 Prayers through the Ages, readers will find a diverse collection of prayers accompanied by meaningful insights into the authors’ lives and historical contexts, beginning in the first century and continuing up to the present. By reflecting on these texts from believers across the ages, readers will find encouragement and inspiration as they deepen their capacity for engaging in the lifelong practice of prayer. We learn to pray by praying—and this book shows us how.
