Prayer Primer: Igniting a Fire Within – Book Recommendation


Prayer Primer : Igniting a Fire Within (Updated)
by Thomas DuBay

This is a must read for those looking either to begin, or to deepen their prayer lives. Father Dubay, with brevity and clarity, covers all the foundational elements of each type of prayer (vocal, liturgical, mental, contemplative, etc.). For those already experienced with vocal or liturgical prayer, this book will help you evaluate your prayer life and determine how to further develop your relationship with God. For those who already have a solid understanding of meditation and contemplation (within the context of the definitions provided by the Church and the spiritual doctors of the Church), you might look to “Fire Within” instead (by the same author). However, even with experience in these areas, this book might prepare you well to evaluate your prayer life in each important area and move to better navigate deeper waters.

Regardless of who you are, if you are beginning or reigniting your prayer quest – this book should be the first book you pick up.

    Angela, *Prayer Primer* and *Seeking Spiritual Direction* completely opened up *Fire Within* for me. Try reading it again!

    Oh! I love this book. I just got it and read it from cover to cover! I have owned "The Fire Within" for decades and not gotten into it but this book is accessible and addresses so many practical things like finding time for prayer, family prayer, and prayer for children. It was easy to read and I saw easily where I could made some concrete improvements now. I am going to have my teenaged girls read this as well. I wish I had read it as a teen or college student.
  • Fr. Dubay is an amazing teacher in things to do with prayer. I've read this and loved it. Thanks and God bless.
