How to Pray

About this book

The great C.S. Lewis said, "I pray because I can't help myself. I pray because I'm helpless. I pray because the need flows out of me all the time, waking and sleeping. It doesn't change God. It changes me." The act of praying demands an impossibility that we request and Lewis's insights on Christianity, reflections, and teachings are cultivated from essays, articles, letters, and his classic words in How to Pray. Lewis provides a deeper understanding of the personal tradition of prayer, faith, and what it means to be a Christian.
