Augustine on Prayer

Fr. Thomas A. Hand, O. S. A. Prayer is a subject that is of vital interest to Christians of all ages.  We are constantly asking questions such as:  What is prayer?  Why should we pray?  For what and for whom should we pray?  How should we pray? In this easy-to-read volume, Father Hand has provided answers to these and many other questions from the thought of a Master of prayer, St. Augustine of Hippo.  The author has collected over 500 Augustinian texts about prayer and has woven them into a little summa about how to improve one's prayer life.
