To Pray and to Love: Conversations on Prayer with the Early Church
To Pray and to Love is for all
persons who want to pray but do not know
how, who pray but feel uncertain about it,
and who pray happily but want to grow more
deeply. For those who have longing for
prayer and yet have never prayed, the author
offers some specific suggestions about
attitudes, beliefs, and dispositions that
get in the way of our prayer without us even
noticing. Bondi also shares some of what the
founders of early monasticism had to say
about prayer and Christian love that she has
found especially helpful over the years.

Endorsements
"Drawing on the vast riches of early monastic writers, Roberta Bondi's book on prayer is real, salty, loving, and wise. She invites us to keep such company with early Christian sources as to illuminate a way of praying, living, and thinking about life in mutuality with God. Amid the welter of books on prayer and Christian spirituality, this one shines like Epiphany and will empower like Pentecost."
