Being a Christian is not the reward of personal enterprise or forming a haven from wants, needs, worries, sorrows. It means that Christ has come close to us and invited us to share in his life. Similarly Christian prayer is rooted in Christ, in his word; it is about his work and his salvation.
Prayer to the Christian is as important as breathing; it shapes, directs and gives life meaning, confidence and joy. Prayer casts a spotlight on the human scene. It is a lamp for our step and a light for our path so that we can go safely on our journey through life to God. With prayer as its starting point this, book looks at Christian Communion and Community in its various aspects: faith, evangelical poverty, breakdown and renewal, relationship with the world today.
