Fr. Thomas Dubay, a renowned teacher and writer on prayer and the spiritual life, presents a simple, profound and practical book on the most important of all human activities, communion with God.
Prayer Primer is written for intelligent adults (and teenagers) who want God and a serious prayer life, but it does not presuppose that they need or have a theological background. It does take up many questions rarely answered adequately in the classroom or from the pulpit, often not mentioned at all: Why pray? (be ready for some surprises) ? Why vocal prayer is important and yet should be limited ? What contemplation is and is not ? Praying with Scripture ? Family prayer - even how to introduce children to group meditation ? Prayer in a busy life ? Pitfalls and problems - together with solutions ? Buddhism? New Age? Centering prayer? ? What should you do when dry and empty and not at all inclined to pray? How do you even get started? ? Where and how to begin? ? Assessing progress ? Growing in depth. All of these subjects, and more, are clearly and concisely explained for citizens of this 21st century.

Here is a skillful weaving of the story of St. Ignatius Loyola?s conversion and pilgrimage with the colorful and dangerous history of Spain and Italy in the early sixteenth century. The life of the very human, very great Basque nobleman who founded the Jesuit Order, makes for one of de Wohl?s finest novels.
Seriously wounded at the siege of Pamplona in 1521, Don Inigo de Loyola learned that to be a Knight of God was an infinitely greater honor (and infinitely more dangerous) than to be a Knight in the forces of the Emperor. Uli von der Flue, humorous, intelligent and courageous Swiss mercenary, was responsible for the canon shot which incapacitated the worldly and ambitious young nobleman, and Uli became deeply involved in Loyola?s life. With Juanita, disguised as the boy Juan, Uli followed Loyola on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land to protect him, but it was the saint who protected Uli and Juan. Through Uli?s eyes we see the surge and violence of the turbulent period in Jerusalem, Spain and Rome.
