Personality and Prayer

Personality and Prayer by Ruth Fowke was published by CWR Publishing in October 2008 and is our 8145th best seller. The ISBN for Personality and Prayer is 9781853454882.

Based on the hope-filled and liberating piece of advice: ‘Pray as you can, don’t try to pray as you can’t’, this helpful book will enable the reader to find the prayer pattern which best suits their personality. We were all made different to one another and God doesn’t want our communication with Him to be constricted by stilted, imposed patterns of prayer. This will release people from the guilt many suffer when they feel they can’t pray in the way they think they should, or they way they’ve been taught. Including points to ponder, suggested prayer styles, prayer exercises, reflections and so on, Personality and Prayer will give the reader both the framework and the freedom to explore new ways and realities in prayer best suited to their personal and sometimes changing needs.
