Summary

 

Las ideas de C。 S。 Lewis sobre el cristianismo y sus reflexiones sobre la vida cristiana continúan guiándonos aún más de cincuenta años después de su muerte。 Cómo orar muestra la sabiduría perdurable de Lewis sobre la oración y su lugar en nuestra vida diaria。 

Cultivado a partir de sus numerosos ensayos， artículos y cartas， así como de sus obras clásicas， Cómo orar， proporciona sabiduría práctica e instrucción para ayudar a los lectores a nutrir sus creencias espirituales y abrazar la oración en todas sus formas。 Si bien a muchas personas les gustaría hablar con Dios， a menudo no saben cómo empezar。 Lewis las guía a través de la práctica， iluminando el significado de la oración y por qué es fundamental para la fe。

How to Pray

The revered teacher and bestselling author of such classic Christian works as Mere Christianity and The Screwtape Letters， C。 S。 Lewis here offers wisdom and lessons that illuminate our private dialogue with God—prayer—in this collection drawn from the breadth of his writings。

Cultivated from his many essays， articles， and letters， as well as his classic works， How to Pray provides practical wisdom and instruction to help readers nurture their spiritual beliefs and embrace prayer in all its forms。 While many people would like to speak to God， they often don’t know how to begin。 Lewis guides them through the practice， illuminating the significance of prayer and why it is central to faith。

Did not disappointmentI’ve read most of C。S。 Lewis work， so some of the content was familiar， as the book was a combination of various works。 I really enjoyed it and found it helpful on my journey of learning how to pray better。

“Does Christianity encourage morbid introspection？ The alternative is much more morbid。 Those who do not think about their own sins make up for it by thinking incessantly about the sins of others。 It is healthier to think of one’s own sins。” （63）“If you have not chosen the Kingdom of God， it will make in the end no difference what you have chosen instead…” - William Law （103）“Does it matter to a man dying in a desert， by which choice of route he missed the only well？” （103）“If you’re approaching “Does Christianity encourage morbid introspection？ The alternative is much more morbid。 Those who do not think about their own sins make up for it by thinking incessantly about the sins of others。 It is healthier to think of one’s own sins。” （63）“If you have not chosen the Kingdom of God， it will make in the end no difference what you have chosen instead…” - William Law （103）“Does it matter to a man dying in a desert， by which choice of route he missed the only well？” （103）“If you’re approaching Him not as the goal but as a road， not as the end but as a means， you’re not really approaching Him at all。” （134） 。。。more

Thought-provoking and helpful。

This is basically a collection of C。S。 Lewis excerpts on prayer so it's not strictly like he had set out to have these excerpts presented this way。 It felt a little jilted and started a lot of various topics around prayer but didn't go as in depth as I would have liked。 Still some very good insight into the simple essence of prayer and how not do it。 What most stood out was his examination of praying for daily bread and things we need day to day whether or not we feel like it。 He explained to as This is basically a collection of C。S。 Lewis excerpts on prayer so it's not strictly like he had set out to have these excerpts presented this way。 It felt a little jilted and started a lot of various topics around prayer but didn't go as in depth as I would have liked。 Still some very good insight into the simple essence of prayer and how not do it。 What most stood out was his examination of praying for daily bread and things we need day to day whether or not we feel like it。 He explained to ask for things and understand that we could not receive it but that is what prayer is for: coming to know the will of God and being in his presence， again， even if we don't feel his presence all the time。 。。。more

C。 S。 Lewis does it again - takes a complicated subject and brings it down to where we all struggle。 One of my favorite books this fall。

Sammy Tiranno ，

It often happens with prolific writers that their previous works are sampled in order to publish alternate works or thematic compilations。 And when it comes to Lewis， I’m all for that。 Each section of this book is worth considering， and even more so are the original works they were pulled from。 However， the title is deceptive。 “How to Pray” sounds like an instructional manual， and that’s not what this is。 I’m sure it was purposely selected by the publisher for its likelihood to provoke sales， bu It often happens with prolific writers that their previous works are sampled in order to publish alternate works or thematic compilations。 And when it comes to Lewis， I’m all for that。 Each section of this book is worth considering， and even more so are the original works they were pulled from。 However， the title is deceptive。 “How to Pray” sounds like an instructional manual， and that’s not what this is。 I’m sure it was purposely selected by the publisher for its likelihood to provoke sales， but it would’ve been more honest to simply call it “Thoughts on Prayer” or “Essays on Prayer，” and leave it at that。 。。。more

I gave this three stars based on how much I enjoyed going through it。 It is hard to read because it's disjointed， but they did try their best。 As stated in the intro， C。S。 Lewis wanted to write a book on prayer but abandoned the idea。 It would be hard to go through all the works of an author and try to pick out their beliefs about a specific theology and then turn that into a cohesive book。 So knowing what this book is， I can give it a little bit more grace。。。 But it still was kind of hard to re I gave this three stars based on how much I enjoyed going through it。 It is hard to read because it's disjointed， but they did try their best。 As stated in the intro， C。S。 Lewis wanted to write a book on prayer but abandoned the idea。 It would be hard to go through all the works of an author and try to pick out their beliefs about a specific theology and then turn that into a cohesive book。 So knowing what this book is， I can give it a little bit more grace。。。 But it still was kind of hard to read because some things felt like they were taken out of context。 I love C。S。 Lewis's writings！ Some of these were from books I've already read and some of them were from books I haven't read yet so I enjoyed revisiting material。 Overall conclusion though， there are so many other books on prayer I would probably skip this one。 。。。more

Some reviews labeled this book as “disjointed” and I would not disagree。 I enjoyed each chapter， but I believe it should be read as each their own little book， so to speak。 Reading it altogether as one fluid story might bring some disappointment。

I was looking for a book to help me deepen my own prayer life and teach me a bit more about prayer and this book is great。 It's essentially excerpts from some of C。S。 Lewis' books as well as essays he wrote。 There were a ton of different perspectives I hadn't thought of before and of course his writing is just brilliant。 It's a good book to read and mull over when your thinking about your prayer life and what your approach to God should be， which is simply just to come to him。 I was looking for a book to help me deepen my own prayer life and teach me a bit more about prayer and this book is great。 It's essentially excerpts from some of C。S。 Lewis' books as well as essays he wrote。 There were a ton of different perspectives I hadn't thought of before and of course his writing is just brilliant。 It's a good book to read and mull over when your thinking about your prayer life and what your approach to God should be， which is simply just to come to him。 。。。more

Thought provoking religious philosophy on prayer and how we can interact with God。

Kico Meirelles ，

CS Lewis is one of my favorite authors and， in this book， he is able to write abou reflections， prays and God。 The book has droplets from his other collection what enrich even more this one。

A estrutura de livros por vezes não são percebidas por nós， só quando elas fogem do convencional progressivo， ou mexa-se a temporalidade dos capítulos， zooms de perspectiva， etc， etc。 Mas a estrutura mais física， que não faz parte da história， nem da narrativa de maneira incisiva， a nomeação dos capítulos e a expectativa de um sumário não é algo pensado， é mais implícito （suponho） para nós。O ponto que quero chegar é que， quando livros são forjados por um elencar de junções supostamente unitárias A estrutura de livros por vezes não são percebidas por nós， só quando elas fogem do convencional progressivo， ou mexa-se a temporalidade dos capítulos， zooms de perspectiva， etc， etc。 Mas a estrutura mais física， que não faz parte da história， nem da narrativa de maneira incisiva， a nomeação dos capítulos e a expectativa de um sumário não é algo pensado， é mais implícito （suponho） para nós。O ponto que quero chegar é que， quando livros são forjados por um elencar de junções supostamente unitárias para a publicação， como cartas， capítulos de outros livros e citações incluídas como complementação， a estrutura mais óbvia chama atenção。 Chego então a um paradoxo positivo de que esse livro "Como Orar" （tradução BR） é problemático na expectativa estrutural de divisão de capítulos e ao mesmo tempo um excelente trabalho de propor uma narrativa relativamente didática sobre oração。Bem， é o C。S Lewis， quando você menos espera ao terminar seu livro já está escrevendo como esse literata britânico。 No mais， o ÓTIMO desse livro está realmente na finalização anti racional。。。que a oração é profundamente emocional， de pensamentos muito elevados em suposições como todo o complexo simples de oração funciona submetido a Deus。 。。。more

I enjoyed this little book but I did not enjoy it as much as How to be a Christian。 This one did not feel as though each chapter actually related to prayer， but I did like reading it

Literatura e Citações ，

Um livro diferente， nele há varias menções de outros títulos de Lewis。 Mesmo intitulado Como Orar， esse livro não é um manual ou como chamamos na atualidade， um tutorial de como se deve orar， mas， nos traz temas complexos que nos faz refletir sobre o que é orar。 Lewis， com sua vasta intelectualidade， nos faz mergulhar em suas palavras， que por vezes é difícil acompanhar o seu raciocínio， nos faz pensar se vale a pena orar e o porque orar e relata as dúvidas que tivera。 Há momentos que a obra se Um livro diferente， nele há varias menções de outros títulos de Lewis。 Mesmo intitulado Como Orar， esse livro não é um manual ou como chamamos na atualidade， um tutorial de como se deve orar， mas， nos traz temas complexos que nos faz refletir sobre o que é orar。 Lewis， com sua vasta intelectualidade， nos faz mergulhar em suas palavras， que por vezes é difícil acompanhar o seu raciocínio， nos faz pensar se vale a pena orar e o porque orar e relata as dúvidas que tivera。 Há momentos que a obra se torna um diálogo que nos faz refletir， que nos ajuda a conhecer mais sobre essa dádiva que nos conecta com Deus， ensinada por Jesus。 Ter intimidade com Deus， é o que a oração nos faz ter， confiar nele， e por nEle o que existe dentro de nós。 No decorrer do livro， Lewis nos explica a diferença de um milagre e um acontecimento natural， nos ensina que todas as orações são ouvidas mesmo que não sejam atendidas， que tudo está no controle de Deus。 Também nos mostra o motivo das orações serem negadas。 Para orarmos devemos primeiro distinguir estamos， sendo superficiais ou profundamente sinceros， para chegarmos à Deus， precisamos desejar a sua presença sendo assim ser convicto que estás colando as suas preces em Deus。 É incrível como Lewis nos faz submergir em nossa própria consciência e nos perguntar se de fato estamos orando a Deus como se deveria， por amor ou como apenas um rito， caso seja isso， devemos nos preocupar com a comunhão com o criador。 Para mais resenhas e conteúdo acesse o meu Instagram @literaturaecitacoes 。。。more

Not what I thought - this book isn't written by Lewis as much as it is a collection of his writings to answer questions about prayer。 Definitely as well-written as any Lewis book with many insights for me to reflect on for my own prayer life， but different formatting than what I expected。 Not what I thought - this book isn't written by Lewis as much as it is a collection of his writings to answer questions about prayer。 Definitely as well-written as any Lewis book with many insights for me to reflect on for my own prayer life， but different formatting than what I expected。 。。。more

Marcos Vinicius ，

Sou suspeito para falar dos livros do C。S。 Lewis。 Esse livro reúne uma série de obras do autor， no qual， ele expõe as questões profundas da oração。 Esse livro é recomendado para aqueles que querem refletir a importância da oração e como podemos utilizá-la para uma vida de comunicação harmoniosa com Deus。 Um livro com muita sabedoria e reflexões profundas。

David ，

A decent collection of writings， from various sources， that Lewis wrote about prayer over the years。 It was very beneficial for my own spirituality （as Lewis almost always is） but， for obvious reasons， lacking in cohesion。

Ceri E。 Penner ，

A wonderful read in many ways。 Lewis always offers so much wisdom。 But it didn't flow very well and there was no real conclusion。 I guess this is the price of podging together a book from so many sources。 A wonderful read in many ways。 Lewis always offers so much wisdom。 But it didn't flow very well and there was no real conclusion。 I guess this is the price of podging together a book from so many sources。 。。。more

Shelley Smart ，

I found this book disjointed。 Didn’t flow。

Dennis McClure ，

If you are struggling with belief and understanding。 If you are working into Christianity because it feels right and necessary。 Lewis makes some of the most complicated parts of it all as clear as it can be。 Only you know whether you need what Lewis offers。 But if you do， you need it a lot。

Luisa Quam ，

This is a collection of various writings from CS Lewis。 Very good。 somewhat disjointed since the writings come from all over his other works。

Kevin Halloran ，

Meh。 I’m not a big fan of books that compile passages and quotes on a certain theme because it seems disjointed and unnatural。 Also， while Lewis does share some helpful perspective on prayer， he doesn’t draw much from Scripture but rather thinks through things philosophically—not my cup of tea。

Mary Haynes ，

Lewis isn't always as clear/straight-forward/easy-to-follow for me as I might hope， but there are still plenty of helpful insights and practices offered in this little collection of Lewis excerpts。 Lewis isn't always as clear/straight-forward/easy-to-follow for me as I might hope， but there are still plenty of helpful insights and practices offered in this little collection of Lewis excerpts。 。。。more

Janelle ，

I enjoyed the different reflections C。S。Lewis provides in regards to the topic on Prayer。 He looks at a number of different perspectives and will challenge you to think about your own prayer life。

Joshua D。 ，

Wonderful collection of Lewis' best writing on prayer。 He always claimed to desire to write a book ab out prayer， but didn't feel up to the task。 Perhaps if he had lived longer he would have done it。 But his other writing is filled with reflections on prayer， born out of a life devoted to prayer。 This is helpfully collected here in this volume。 Very much recommended。 Wonderful collection of Lewis' best writing on prayer。 He always claimed to desire to write a book ab out prayer， but didn't feel up to the task。 Perhaps if he had lived longer he would have done it。 But his other writing is filled with reflections on prayer， born out of a life devoted to prayer。 This is helpfully collected here in this volume。 Very much recommended。 。。。more
