Prayer
Richard J. Foster
Hodder & Stoughton Ltd, 1992
Thoughtful and provoking
I found R Foster's book on Prayer to be thought provoking and thoughtfully done. I read it at a time in my life that was in crisis mode and his thoughts and ruminations help me through a tough time.

Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall
