Making Prayer Real

Leading Jewish Spiritual Voices on Why Prayer is Difficult and What to Do about It
By Rabbi Mike Comins
6.1"x8.9" (200 Pages)Publisher: Jewish Lights, 2010

Put your heart's desires into words--no one else can truly pray for you. Have you lost faith in prayer? Do you wonder just who you are praying to and if it is worth the effort? Does your search for religious meaning take you anywhere but to synagogue and the traditional Jewish prayer book? If so, you're not alone.

This is a no-holds-barred look at why so many of us find synagogue services and prayer at best difficult, and at worst, meaningless and boring--and how to make it more satisfying. Rabbi Mike Comins draws from over fifty interviews with Jewish spiritual leaders from all denominations, as well as from their "best prayer practices." He offers a new and different response to the challenges of prayer to entice and inspire you to become a "prayer person," a person who engages in prayer to play the heart strings of the soul.

He then guides you in overcoming the obstacles to achieving a satisfying prayer life through twenty-four innovative and traditional practices, relating prayer to the needs of conscious living:

Nurturing joy
Increasing mindfulness
Facilitating self-change
Dealing with tragedy
Responding to loss
