A celebration of men's voices in prayer—through the ages from
many faiths, cultures and traditions. "If men like us don't pray,
where will emerging generations get a window into the soul of a
good man, an image of the kind of man they can aspire to be—or be
with—when they grow up? If men don’t pray, who will model for
them the practices of soul care—of gratitude, confession,
compassion, humility, petition, repentance, grief, faith, hope and
love? If men don’t pray, what will men become, and what will
become of our world and our future?" —from the Introduction by
Brian D. McLaren This collection celebrates the profound variety of
ways men around the world have called out to the Divine—with
words of joy, praise, gratitude, wonder, petition and even
anger—from the ancient world up to our own day. The prayers come
from a broad spectrum of spiritual traditions—both East and
West—including Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism
and more. Together they provide an eloquent expression of men’s
inner lives, and of the practical, mysterious, painful and joyous
endeavor that prayer is. Men Pray will challenge your preconceived
ideas about prayer. It will inspire you to explore new ways of
prayerful expression and new possibilities for your own spiritual
journey. This is a book to treasure and to share. Includes prayers
