Prayer for People Who Think Too Much: A Guide to Everyday, Anywhere Prayer from the World's Faith Traditions Book

Too often we think of prayer as a nut that needs to be cracked. For countless people, prayer is a problem to be solved. So they try a prayer or a meditation technique, abandon it, then try another prayer method and soon abandon it, too. We read, listen to lectures, watch videos, and attend retreats on prayer. Maybe, we think, a visiting guru can help solve the problem of prayer. But prayer is not a problem. Prayer is a mystery, and by no means are these the same thing. -from the Introduction

This may be the last book about prayer you ever read. If you puzzle over what prayer is, and means and does, you probably are thinking too much and praying too little to understand the mystery of prayer.
