PRAYER

Description

The movement from isolated self-sufficiency to the "clinging" to God which is prayer is the subject of Emilie Griffin's sequel to Turning: Reflections on the Experience of Conversion. Through Scripture and her own interior struggle, she describes experiences such as yielding, darkness and transparency, which occur not in ordered sequence but as "moments" in the journey of prayer.
