- Notes
- "[By] Herbert O'Driscoll".
- "Not being very good at praying is as good a reason as any for writing a book about it. In fact, few of us are good at praying -- whatever that means -- and so writing a book about prayer may help a great many people ! That is my hope, and my intention ! .... What can make anything a prayer is simply offering that act or thought or moment to God. I believe it is that simple. .... A number of chapters in 'Prayer Among Friends' came to life in response to an invitation. Pat Curtis, a dear and long-time friend, asked me to write some articles for the newsletter of the Anglican Fellowship of Prayer. I have taken those articles, edited them, and added more to create this book. Now that Pat has died after an extraordinarily courageous struggle with cancer, I regard those articles as prayers of thanksgiving for her life. I also offer two people much thanks: Robert Maclennan, ABC Publishing Manager, for seeing the possibilities in these thoughts about prayer, and Patricia Bays, who has made them into useful tools for personal or group study?. -- Preface.
