"Teach us to Pray." The disciples' cry to Jesus has never been more topical. In a fast-moving, hyperactive, technology-oriented world, more and more people are trying to find meaning in their lives and to develop a living relationship with the Lord in prayer. However, they often find themselves at a loss to discover reliable guides point to sure pathways to the art of prayer. In this book Fr. Jerome Bertram answers the plea of so many of his contemporaries. Drawing on his own experience and his vast knowledge of trusted spiritual authors, he leads his readers into the various ways of prayer. After a few introductory chapters stressing the importance of prayer, Fr. Jerome takes us through the Our Father, the very prayer which the Lord himself left with us. Along the way, he tackles common difficulties such as distraction and detachment, thus providing valuable advice for all who seek to deepen their life of prayer, be they beginners or more advanced in the spiritual life. Building on the insights of Pope Benedict's Jesus of Nazareth, the author provides an account of prayer that is easy to read, accessible, and clearly centered on Jesus Christ and the Church.

I was irritated by the total lack of citations for quotes (except those taken from Scripture) and alienated by the claim, stated as bald fact on p. 78, of the exact wording of the titulus crucis in Hebrew. Considering that said wording appears to be unattested and may not have been in Hebrew at all, but Aramaic, the naked assertion that the initial letters of the words spell "YHWH" seems a bit much. It would, of course, be awfully nice if they did... but it would be nice too if authors could let on where they were getting their facts, real or alleged.
