Praise
“I highly recommend Ten Ways to Pray for people at all stages of the Christian journey.”
“Prayer becomes practical with Carolyn Pirtle's excellent book, Ten Ways to Pray: A Catholic Guide for Drawing Closer to God. From the what to the why to the when of various forms of prayer, Pirtle helps us improve our prayer lives.”
“What a delightful read! Building on the Church's liturgical prayer, Carolyn Pirtle takes us on a wonderful journey and unpacks prayer through scripture, devotion, beauty, nature, visual art, music, and more.”
“It is one thing to build a path of explanation through such an elusive subject as prayer. And quite another thing to address such an intimate subject in a coherent manner. And yet another thing to do so, building her pathway with compassion, care, and devotion. Carolyn Pirtle accomplishes all three in this engaging book.”
