Beginning to Pray

Has anyone read Beginning to Pray by Anthony Bloom?

I have just started reading it but I'd like to hear what others thought.

A very good book.

Especially the part where God teaches Moses with the shepherd who provides milk for a desert fox.

It's been awhile, but one thing I remember is his point about God sometimes not feeling "present" when we pray - it's because *we* are not prepared to be in God's presence. God is having mercy on us.

Marvelous book. One of my favorites. I'm going to go out a bit on a limb here, but that book convinced me that Anthony Bloom was a saint. I don't know if he'll ever be canonized, but his story combined with the wisdom on prayer in the book itself... beautiful.

That sounds interesting. I may have to put that one on my list.

Update: I found it on Amazon.com, and added this to my wishlist.

My ex-evangelical wife really enjoyed the book. She quotes from it all the time.
