Prayer For People Who Think Too Much
A Guide to Everyday, Anywhere Prayer from The World's Faith Traditions
Mitch Finley

Editorial Reviews


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.  Too often we treat prayer as a "head trip," according to award-winning author Mitch Finley, spending time trying to understand the meaning of prayer, rather than learning by doing.

Considering prayer a holistic daily practice for body, mind and spirit, Finley looks at traditional and innovative prayer practices in the world's major faith traditions.  In every faith tradition, he finds that we understand prayer most when we pray.

This fascinating, nonsectarian look at the practice of prayer will inspire people of all faiths and backgrounds to re-evaluate the power of prayer and its place in our lives, and to consciously live each day as if in the presence of God.  It includes an in-depth look at how each major faith tradition incorporates prayer into daily life.   Christian sacraments, Jewish holy days, Muslim daily prayer, the concept of "mindfulness" in Buddhism and Hindu rituals are just some of the practices Finley examines. Exploring how people of many faiths pray will help you better understand and enhance your own prayer practices.
